Regular Season Round 17: Dandenong R. - Canberra C. 89-80

Date: February 2, 2014
There was no surprise when 6th ranked Canberra Capitals (9-13) were defeated on the road by second ranked Dandenong Rangers (16-5) 89-80. The hosts were already 11 points ahead at halftime and as many as 14 after three quarters before a 21-16 last quarter charge of Canberra Capitals cut the lead to 89-80 at the end of the game. Dandenong Rangers dominated down low during the game scoring 60 of its points in the paint compared to Canberra Capitals' 38. American point guard Leilani Mitchell (165-85, college: Utah, agency: LBM Management) nailed 25 points, 6 assists and 4 steals for the winning side and her fellow American import forward Kayla Pedersen (193-89, college: Stanford, agency: LBM Management) accounted for 21 points and 9 rebounds. Four Dandenong Rangers players scored in double figures. International center Abby Bishop (189-88) came up with a double-double by scoring 26 points and 17 rebounds and the former international point guard Natalie Hurst (164-83) added 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists respectively for Canberra Capitals in the defeat. Dandenong Rangers have an impressive series of six victories in a row. Defending champion maintains second place with 16-5 record having just three points less than leader Bendigo S. Canberra Capitals at the other side keep the sixth position with 13 games lost. Dandenong Rangers' next round opponent will be Bulleen Boomers (#3) in Melbourne, which may be the game of the day. Canberra Capitals will play at home against Townsville Fire and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
