NBL1 South Women's Conference Finals Preview

The NBL1 South is officially in the finals and the first week will be a continuous flow of massive plays and results! 

Check out the NBL1 South Women’s match-ups below:

Qualifying Finals 

Bendigo Braves v Nunawading Specters 

The Bendigo Braves have been the top team all season, finishing with a record of 20-2. The Braves looked unstoppable in the regular season as Tess Madgen's season makes her a key contender for MVP. While her teammates Megan McKay and Abigail Wehrung have been outstanding co-stars. 

Nunawading has its own collection of stars but will miss Alice Kunek who has signed in Europe. Can Rachel Antoniadou and Cassidy Mihalko carry the Specters past the Braves?

Ringwood Hawks v Mount Gambier Pioneers 

The Ringwood Hawks in the second half of the season overtook Mount Gambier as the clear second-best team in the conference. At the start of the season Cannadra Brown’s Piooners looked like a true contender but with Marena Whittle's Hawks rising, this will be a classic battle of the bigs.
