Regular Season Round 16: Geelong U. - Bendigo 80-73

Date: January 30, 2026
Very important is a road loss of second ranked Bendigo Spirit (16-6) against sixth ranked United (7-15) on Friday night. Visiting Bendigo Spirit was defeated by United in a tough game in Geelong 73-80. Geelong U. made 16-of-20 free shots (80.0 percent) during the game. Strangely Bendigo outrebounded Geelong U. 45-32 including 34 on the defensive glass. American forward Mackenzie Holmes (190-2001, college: Indiana, agency: LBM Management) fired 27 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. The other American import forward Alissa Pili (188-2001, college: Utah) chipped in 26 points and 5 rebounds. The former international power forward Kelsey Griffin (188-1987, college: Nebraska) produced 15 points and 9 rebounds and international guard Isobel Borlase (180-2004) added 11 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists respectively for lost side. Bendigo Spirit's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Newly promoted Geelong U. maintains sixth position with 7-15 record. Defending champion Bendigo dropped to the third place with six games lost. Geelong U. will meet higher ranked Canberra (#5) on the road in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Bendigo will play against the league's leader Townsville and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
