Date: November 26, 2011
The game between closely ranked teams ended with sixth ranked Dandenong Rangers' (6-4) home victory over 7th ranked Bendigo Spirit (4-5) 85-76 on Saturday. The hosts trailed by 6 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 1-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 85-76. Dandenong Rangers dominated down low during the game scoring 60 of its points in the paint compared to Bendigo Spirit's 30. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Dandenong Rangers made 8 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of international guard Kathleen Macleod (167-86) who helped to win the game recording 36 points (!!!), 6 assists and 4 steals and international guard Stephanie Cumming (178-90) who added 18 points and 4 assists during the contest. Dandenong Rangers' coach Mark Wright used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. Center Gabrielle Richards (191-84, college: Oregon) responded with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 11 rebounds and international guard Deanna Smith (179-80) scored 16 points and 5 rebounds. Four Bendigo Spirit players scored in double figures. Dandenong Rangers moved-up to fifth place. Loser Bendigo Spirit keeps the seventh position with five games lost. Dandenong Rangers will meet at home league's second-placed Sydney Uni Flames in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Bendigo Spirit will play against AIS (#9) in Belconnen and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
