Regular Season Round 8: Sydney UF - Bendigo S. 74-85

Date: December 5, 2014
Not a big story in a game when 3rd ranked Sydney Uni Flames (6-4) lost at home to first ranked Bendigo Spirit (8-3) 85-74 on Friday. The guests trailed by 5 points at the halftime before their 41-25 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Bendigo Spirit dominated on the defensive end, holding Sydney Uni Flames to just 7 points in third quarter. They made 20-of-23 free shots (87.0 percent) during the game. The former international Belinda Snell (180-81) orchestrated the victory by scoring 41 points (!!!) and 5 rebounds (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line). American forward Kelsey Griffin (188-87, college: Nebraska) contributed with 20 points for the winners. Bendigo Spirit's coach used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Guard Katie-Rae Ebzery (177-90) replied with 18 points, 5 assists and 4 steals and American forward Mikaela Ruef (190-90, college: Stanford) added 18 points and 7 rebounds in the effort for Sydney Uni Flames. Defending champion maintains first position with 8-3 record. Sydney Uni Flames at the other side dropped to the fourth place with four games lost. Bendigo Spirit will face Bulleen Boomers (#3) in Melbourne in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Sydney Uni Flames will play at home against the league's second-placed Townsville Fire and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
