Regular Season Round 12: Sydney - Bendigo 89-78

Date: January 5, 2026
The most surprising game was a loss of top-ranked Bendigo Spirit (13-3) on the court of seventh ranked Sydney Flames on Monday night. Visitors were defeated by Sydney Flames 89-78. It ended at the same time the ten-game winning streak of Bendigo Spirit. Sydney looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists comparing to just 11 passes made by Bendigo's players. It was a good game for American forward Unique Thompson (190-1999, college: Auburn) who led her team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 32 points and 10 rebounds (went 8 for 8 at the free throw line). The former international guard Lauren Nicholson (180-1993, college: SMC) contributed with 19 points and 4 assists for the winners. Sydney Flames' coach Guy Molloy used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. International guard Isobel Borlase (180-2004) replied with 32 points and 6 rebounds and added 16 points in the effort for Bendigo. Sydney (5-12) moved-up to sixth place. Defending champion Bendigo still keeps top position with three games lost. Sydney are looking forward to face higher ranked Canberra (#4) at home in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Bendigo will play against Southside and is hoping to win this game.
