Regular Season Round 16: Townsville - Canberra 78-62

Date: January 31, 2026
Not a big story in a game when 5th ranked Canberra Capitals (8-14) were defeated on the road by first ranked Townsville Fire (18-4) 78-62 on Saturday. Townsville forced 21 Canberra turnovers. Forward Alicia Froling (190-1996, college: SMU) fired a double-double by scoring 15 points and 11 rebounds for the winners. The former international guard Miela Sowah (180-2000, college: Duke) chipped in 17 points. Four Townsville Fire players scored in double figures. The former international power forward Zitina Aokuso (193-1998) produced 8 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists and the former international guard Jade Melbourne (178-2002, college: Arizona St.) added 13 points respectively for lost side. Canberra Capitals' coach tested ten players seeing no chance for a win. Townsville Fire have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 18-4 record. Canberra lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the fifth place with 14 games lost. Townsville will meet at home Bendigo (#3) in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Canberra will play against Geelong U. and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
