Regular Season Round 17: Townsville - Dandenong 89-49
Date: February 12, 2016
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Townsville. First ranked Townsville Fire faced second-ranked Dandenong Rangers. Host Townsville Fire (16-6) smashed guests from Dandenong (15-8) 89-49. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Dandenong Rangers. The game without a history. Townsville Fire led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. Townsville Fire outrebounded Dandenong Rangers 49-35 including a 34-21 advantage in defensive rebounds. The former international center Suzy Batkovic-Brown (195-80) stepped up and scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners and the former international center Cayla George (192-89) chipped in 14 points and 17 rebounds. Four Townsville Fire players scored in double figures. American forward Annalise Pickrel (190-92, college: Michigan St., agency: LBM Management) responded with a double-double by scoring 12 points and 10 rebounds and the former international guard Stephanie Cumming (178-90) scored 13 points. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Townsville Fire have an impressive series of five victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 16-6 record. Loser Dandenong Rangers keep the second position with eight games lost. They share it with Perth. Townsville Fire will meet Adelaide Lightning (#7) on the road in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. Dandenong Rangers will play against SEQ (#4) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
