Regular Season Round 8: Bendigo S. - Adelaide 81-55
Date: December 6, 2014
Everything went according to plan when first ranked Bendigo Spirit (8-3) outplayed at home bottom-ranked Adelaide Lightning (2-9) 81-55 on Saturday. The game was mostly controlled by Bendigo Spirit. Adelaide Lightning was better in third quarter 21-17. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Adelaide Lightning to just 4 points in first quarter. Bendigo Spirit made 16-of-18 free shots (88.9 percent) during the game. The former international Belinda Snell (180-81) orchestrated the victory by scoring 22 points and 7 rebounds. American forward Kelsey Griffin (188-87, college: Nebraska) contributed with 11 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Bendigo Spirit's coach felt very confident using 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. International center Laura Hodges (191-83) replied with 21 points and 5 rebounds and New Zealand-Italian point guard Angela Marino (166-86) added 15 points and 6 rebounds (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) in the effort for Adelaide Lightning. Defending champion maintains first position with 8-3 record. Adelaide Lightning lost seventh consecutive game. They stay at the bottom place with nine games lost. Bendigo Spirit will face Bulleen Boomers (#3) in Melbourne in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Adelaide Lightning will play at home against Bulleen Boomers (#3) and hope to win that game.
