Regular Season Round 4: Bendigo - Adelaide 61-72
Date: October 27, 2017
Very predictable result when first ranked Adelaide Lightning (5-1) defeated on the road bottom-ranked Bendigo Spirit (1-5) 72-61 on Friday. They outrebounded Bendigo Spirit 40-23 including a 31-19 advantage in defensive rebounds. Adelaide Lightning looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Adelaide Lightning made 7 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of Canadian center Ruth Hamblin (198-94, college: Oregon St., agency: LBM Management) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 15 points and 17 rebounds and American guard Natalie Novosel (180-89, college: Notre Dame, agency: LBM Management) who added 13 points and 6 assists during the contest. At the losing side American guard Rachel Banham (175-93, college: Minnesota, agency: LBM Management) responded with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists and international forward Kelsey Griffin (188-87, college: Nebraska) scored 10 points and 7 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Adelaide Lightning have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 5-1 record. Bendigo Spirit lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the bottom place with five games lost. Adelaide Lightning will face Townsville Fire (#3) on the road in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Bendigo Spirit will play against Boomers (#4) and hope to win that game.
