WOMEN

Warwick Senators (113) defeated East Perth Eagles (96)

The Warwick Senators produced a blistering start in a battle of top four teams and their back court of Stacey Barr, Chloe Forster and Emma Gandini delivered 83 points in the 113-96 win over the East Perth Eagles.

Last time the teams met just five weeks ago at Morley Sport and Recreation Centre and it was a thrilling one-point win for the Senators as they prepared to do battle once more at Warwick Stadium.

Since then the Senators had added three-time championship winning guard Emma Gandini while still awaiting the arrival of Robbi Ryan while the Eagles unveiled Sydney Flames WNBL star, and former Perry Lakes, Lakeside and Joondalup forward, Emma Clarke for her first appearance of 2025.

It was Clarke's first game since January 2 this year in the WNBL at the Flames through injury, but she gave a significant boost to the Eagles as they prepared to try and produce a statement performance.

However, it was the Senators who came out on fire on their home floor going on an 11-0 scoring run in the first quarter on the way to opening up a 30-20 advantage by quarter-time thanks to knocking down 5/12 from three-point territory.

Warwick then put up another 33 points to 25 in the second frame with making 7/14 from behind the three-point arc to end up leading by as much as 23 points before still leading 63-45 going into the locker room for half-time.

The Senators were then still leading by 18 points at three quarter-time but the Eagles wouldn’t go away and did end up scoring 13 points in-a-row in the fourth quarter to go from trailing by 22 points to being back within single figures.

They had momentum but it was still a big ask to make up the rest of that deficit with three minutes to play especially when Warwick got a steadying three-pointer from two-time MVP Stacey Barr.

That would prove enough for the Senators to end up securing the 17-point victory while making 18/48 from the three-point line along with collecting 16 offensive rebounds and ending up taking an extra nine field goal attempts than the Eagles.

Warwick improves to a 9-2 record to stay solid in second spot as a result of the win with Stacey Barr outstanding with 34 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals on 5/11 three-point shooting to go with 9/9 at the foul line.

Chloe Forster also had 30 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds on 5/11 three-point shooting and 13/15 at the free-throw line with Emma Gandini contributing 19 points, seven boards and three assists.

Mackenzie Clinch Hoycard provided 11 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals as well.

The Eagles are now 7-3 on the season having lost two of their past three games but those two defeats have come now against the second placed Senators and third placed Perth Redbacks.

Emma Clarke marked her return to the basketball court for East Perth with 15 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals on the back of shooting 4/8 from the floor but it was a rusty 6/13 at the free-throw line.

Abby Cubillo top-scored for the Eagles with 20 points and nine assists with Madi Torresin producing 16 points, five rebounds and three assists, Tessa Morrison 16 points, four boards and three assists, and Sasha Goodlett 10 points, seven rebounds and two assists.

Kiwi Awatea Leach also delivered a strong showing with 19 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals.

Goldfields Giants (69) lost to Willetton Tigers (80)

The Willetton Tigers maintained touch with the top four teams by beating the Goldfields Giants 80-69 in Kalgoorlie on Saturday night.

The Giants returned home to Niels Hansen Basketball Stadium after two tough road losses last week to Warwick and East Perth by a combined 61 points with the task of taking it up to a Tigers led by the imposing presence of dual WNBL championship winner Zitina Aokuso.

Willetton were trying to hit back from two losses as well to the Cockburn Cougars and Perth Redbacks but it was the Giants who were leading 19-18 by the end of the first quarter.

That Goldfields lead grew to six points in the second term and the home team were still clinging to the 42-40 advantage.

It would remain a tight contest with scores all level by three quarter-time but then it was in the fourth quarter that Willetton were finally put down the challenge of the Giants.

Willetton outscored Goldfields 21 points to 10 in that last quarter on the back of shooting 8/14 from the field and 3/5 from downtown while the Giants managed just 4/12 shooting and missing all four three-point attempts.

The Tigers eventually scored the 11-point victory to improve to a 7-4 record on the season with Zitina Aokuso starring once more with 25 points, nine rebounds and six assists on 10/16 field goal shooting.

Sharn Hayward was playing her second game with the Tigers and the Tasmanian college star delivered 21 points on 5/10 three-point shooting.

Ajulu Thatha added 16 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals, and Desiree Kelley 13 points, six boards and six assists.

The Giants have now lost their past seven matches for a 2-10 record with Nici Gilday finishing with another 24 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals.

Erin Antosh also had 21 points, 13 rebounds and three assists but the two imports just didn’t get enough help the longer the game went.

South West Slammers (64) lost to Perth Redbacks (116)

Natalie Chou, Alaska Rhebok and Anneli Maley combined for 70 points as the Perth Redbacks maintained their hold on a top four NBL1 West position with the 116-64 win over the South West Slammers.

The Redbacks arrived at Eaton Recreation Centre for the Saturday evening match up having won their past three matches and looking to keep that momentum going even in the absence of import forward Patty Brossmann.

The Slammers were back on their home floor with their work cut out to take it up to a championship contending team especially while missing the experience of Kate Fielding and Courtney Bayliss.

The Redbacks were fresh off a 33-9 fourth quarter to beat the East Perth Eagles last Friday night and kept that momentum going with 27 points to 14 in the first quarter on the back of going 13/16 at the foul line.

It was then another 28 points to 17 in the second term and Perth were leading 55-31 on the back of that going into the half-time break.

The Redbacks kept their foot on the gas with another 35 points to 12 in the third quarter with the lead growing to 47 points in that term, and then 61 in the fourth before the visitors recorded the 52-point victory.

The Redbacks ended up shooting 47 per cent from the field to 33 from the Slammers while attempting 20 extra field goals on the back pulling down 67 rebounds to 30, 28 offensive boards to eight and forcing the Slammers into 20 turnovers.

Perth improve to a 9-3 record on the season as a result of the fourth straight win with Natalie Chou putting up 25 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals with 6/10 shooting from behind the three-point arc.

Rockingham Flames (98) defeated Perry Lakes Hawks (92)

The defending champion Rockingham Flames had to come from behind but delivered a big fourth quarter to beat the Perry Lakes Hawks 98-92 to remain unbeaten under the coaching of Ryan Petrik.

The Hawks arrived at Mike Barnett Sports Complex coming off losing to the Mandurah Magic the previous night despite being 12 points up with 2:30 remaining.

That was also the return game of Megan McKay as she played her first match with the Hawks since 2021 before joining the Bendigo Spirit of the WNBL and Bendigo Braves of the NBL1 South where she was instrumental in their undefeated season of 2023.

Rockingham had also been building momentum with two-time WNBL Coach of the Year and three-time NBL1 championship winner Petrik taking over as coach from Lukas Carey who had surprisingly replaced Marcus Wong after last year's championship.

With the star power on either side, it shaped as a fascinating contest and it certainly delivered starting with the Flames leading 24-23 by quarter-time.

Perry Lakes then put up 28 points to 22 in the second frame thanks to shooting 13/24 from the field opposed to 9/16 from Rockingham which saw the Hawks go into half-time leading 51-46.

It remained a tight contest with Perry Lakes opening up a double-figure lead in the third period and still being on top 76-69 by three quarter-time.

That left Rockingham with plenty of work to do but they were up to the challenge with 29 points to 16 in those last 10 minutes thanks to shooting 10/17 from the field opposed to the 5/16 from Perry Lakes.

That saw the Flames turn that seven-point deficit into the eventual six-point victory with Alex Ciabattoni starring with 25 points, eight assists, four steals and two rebounds.

Marena Whittle also had 23 points, five rebounds and four assists, Alex Sharp 20 points, four boards, four assists and two steals, and Jess Jakens 19 points and three assists.

It's a pair of heartbreaking losses inside 24 hours for the Hawks who slip to a 4-6 record despite the presence of Megan McKay who had 25 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals on 12/16 field goal shooting.

Amy Jacobs added 24 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists on 6/12 three-point shooting, Alex Fowler 21 points, six boards and five assists, Jayda Clark 11 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals, and Grace Stone 11 points, five boards, thee assists and two steals.

Mandurah Magic (101) defeated Lakeside Lightning (87)

The Mandurah Magic switched out Ally Wilson for new import big Tina Stephens after an amazing Friday overtime win and kept the momentum going to beat the Lakeside Lightning 101-87 in overtime at home on Saturday.

Perth Lynx WNBL and Australian Opals star Wilson inspired Mandurah to the 106-105 win against the Perry Lakes Hawks on Friday which saw them score the game's last 13 points to come back from being 12 down to win by a point.

They were then backing up on Saturday back home at Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre with the Lightning arriving also clinging to a place in the top eight and coming off a road win to the Goldfields Giants two weeks ago.

That set the stage for a fascinating match up and at no point during the opening 40 minutes did any more than eight points ever separate the two teams.

It was the Magic leading by a point at quarter-time before the Lightning were up three at half-time and then the scores were all level at 65-65 by three quarter-time.

Lakeside opened up a six-point lead with the first six points of the fourth quarter but the Magic answered with the next six to ensure the game would get a thrilling finish.

In the end, the biggest play came with new import Tina Stephens instrumental in forcing the stop on Lakeside's attempt at the game winner only to then set up Casey Mihovilovich in the open floor.

She was fouled and had the chance to win the game but missed both free throws and the game was going to an extra five minutes.

It was then a domination by Mandurah in the overtime period as they put up 18 points to four with nine of those courtesy of the foul line as they secured the 14-point victory.

It gives the Magic two crucial wins for the weekend against teams that had been directly above them as they improve to a 7-6 record as a result.

After Ally Wilson starred in the Friday night win, Tina Stephens came into the Mandurah team on Saturday and she played a crucial role in trying to limit the influence of reigning MVP Teige Morrell for Lakeside while having nine points, 10 rebounds, five steals, four assists and two blocks herself.

Claire Jacobs then top-scored for the Magic with 28 points and two assists with Grace Berg contributing 25 points, nine rebounds and four assists, Casey Mihovilovich 10 points, 10 assists, four boards and three steals and going 4/6 at the foul line but the two misses were the crucial ones.

Rachel Halleen also produced 14 points on 4/4 shooting including 3/3 from downtown in her 392nd game with Mandurah.

Lakeside are now 5-6 as a result of the overtime loss with Morrell still managing 23 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks on 10/17 shooting.

Oceane Kounkou added 21 points and three rebounds, Sarah Allen 13 points on 3/7 three-point shooting, Sam Lubcke 12 points and 12 boards, and Kennedi Williams 12 points, eight assists, six steals and three rebounds.

MEN

Geraldton Buccaneers (103) defeated Joondalup Wolves (83)

There's never any shortage of drama when the two teams renew their rivalry and another chapter was written on Saturday night with the Geraldton Buccaneers taking charge after coach Dayle Joseph was ejected to end up beating the Joondalup Wolves 103-83.

The Buccs and Wolfpack have done battle in the grand finals of 2019 and 2023, and taken part in some of the most hotly contested regular season match ups including earlier this season with the Wolves ending up winning on a Saturday night at home in overtime.

The rematch came at Active West Stadium on Saturday night with the Buccaneers returning home after splitting their road weekend with a win over Lakeside where captain Aaron Ralph set a new three-point all-time record but then losing to the Willetton Tigers.

The Wolfpack made the trip to Geraldton coming off a hard fought Sunday win against the Kalamunda Eastern Suns and with fourth position going on the line just if there was any added motivation needed.

Geraldton started on fire with NBL hopeful Johny Narkle leading the charge with the home team leading 22-14 by quarter-time and then pushing that advantage out to 12 points in the second frame.

The Wolfpack fired back, though, and made 5/10 from three-point land in the second term on the way to putting up 35 points to 25 to end up going into the half-time break leading 49-47.

Buccs coach Dayle Joseph received a tech foul on half-time too with the tension high in the packed building heading into the second half, and the frustration did spill over on a perceived non-call the home team saw on Narkle with just over two minutes left in the third term.

Joseph's protests earned him a second tech foul seeing his night over as he went back to the locker room and Carter Cook took over the rest of the game.

When that happened, Geraldton were leading by five points and they managed to extend the advantage to seven by three quarter-time.

It was then all the Buccaneers in the fourth period with 32 points to 19 on the back of them hitting 7/10 from three as a team to end up scoring the 20-point win to the delight of their raucous home fans, and their coach when he reunited with his team after the buzzer.

The Buccs improve to an 8-4 record with the win to move back into the top four with Johny Narkle the star once more as he was in the 2023 Grand Final between the two teams when he was named MVP.

Narkle finished with 33 points, nine rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks with another Grand Final MVP, Liam Hunt, again haunting the Wolves with 21 points, 11 rebounds and three assists.

Akeem Springs returned from a hamstring complaint for 18 points, five rebounds and five assists with Verle Williams adding nine points, five boards, two assists and two steals, and fellow point guard Nik DeSantis seven points, five rebounds and four assists.

The Wolfpack slip outside the top four with the defeat despite the 29 points, six assists and four rebounds from college bound point guard Ethan Elliott.

Joey Baker also had 25 points on 5/9 three-point shooting with CJ Turnage contributing 11 points, six assists and five rebounds, and Caleb Davis eight points, seven boards and two assists.

Warwick Senators (106) lost to East Perth Eagles (122)

Jonah Antonio caught fire late and Max Rice did the same late with the sharpshooting pair producing 61 points and 12 three-pointers as the East Perth Eagles scored a statement 122-106 win over the Warwick Senators.

The Senators had scored the 36-point win over the Eagles just five weeks earlier but that was with Elijah Pepper who wasn’t in the line-up on Saturday night while East Perth have since added NBL free agent Antonio since that match up.

The two teams did battle at Warwick Stadium with the Senators needing a win to stay in top spot while the Eagles were looking to move closer to a top eight position.

It was a hot start from East Perth with 33 points to 21 in the first quarter on the back of shooting 13/22 including 5/9 from downtown with Antonio knocking down four of those from long range.

He then had six triples already before half-time for 23 points and on the back of that the Eagles went into the main break leading 58-46.

Both teams then combined for 62 points and 12 three-pointers in the third quarter with East Perth still leading by eight by three quarter-time.

Todd Withers knocked down a three ball early in the fourth quarter to bring the Senators back within five, and then four when he made three foul shots.

Warwick then had all the momentum when Cooper Creek dropped a three-pointer to make it a one-point ball with seven minutes to play, but from there the Eagles did have the answers.

Ioannis Dimakopoulos was the one to turn the tide back the favour of East Perth starting with an and-one conversion before he dropped two three-point bombs in the space of 30 seconds.

From there, Max Rice took over the contest with two huge threes, two tough makes going to the rim, and then another two free throws and he scored 12 points in the last three minutes.

That lifted East Perth to the 16-point victory on the back of scoring 122 points having only been averaging 88.1 points so far this season with them nailing 20/34 from three-point range to improve to a 5-6 record.

Of those 20 three-pointers made, 12 of them were made by Jonah Antonio and Max Rice for East Perth from a combined 22 attempts.

Rice finished the game with 32 points, four rebounds and three assists reminiscent of his breakout performance in East Perth's win in Geraldton while Antonio showed why he belongs in the NBL still with 29 points, seven boards, four assists and four steals.

Ioannis Dimakopoulos also finished with 15 points and five rebounds, Lee Roberts 15 points, seven boards and three assists, and Nick Filpo 15 points and three assists.

The Senators are now 10-2 on the season and have given up top spot to the Rockingham Flames as a result with Mitch Clarke producing 29 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in the absence of MVP favourite Elijah Pepper.

Cody Ellis had his best performance of the season with 18 points on 4/6 three-point shooting but when he fouled out with over eight minutes to play it was a tough blow for the Senators.

Todd Withers made another 4/7 from downtown for 17 points with Cooper Creek contributing 12 points and four rebounds, Tyler Shand 12 points, nine assists and five boards, and George Pearl 12 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.

The Willetton Tigers have put themselves in a strong position to contend for another top two finish with a fourth straight win by going to Kalgoorlie and beating the Goldfields Giants 108-82.

The Giants returned home to their new stadium at Niels Hansen Basketball Stadium looking to bounce back from a pair of losses in tight battles last weekend to the Warwick Senators at East Perth Eagles.

The Tigers went on their road trip having built some strong momentum again this season on the back of reaching last year's grand final and having won two thrillers last weekend themselves over the Cockburn Cougars and Geraldton Buccaneers by a combined five points.

That set the stage for a crucial match up with Willetton trying to close in on the top two and Goldfields to move closer to the top four, and by quarter-time it was the Giants leading 22-21.

Willetton then took charge of the contest in the second frame with 33 points to 17 on the back of shooting 4/8 from downtown and 12/17 from the field to go into half-time leading 54-39.

The Tigers remained in control of the contest throughout the second half from there with that lead growing to 23 points in the third quarter, and 28 in the fourth before securing the eventual 26-point victory.

It was a hot offensive performance from Willetton with them ending up shooting 57 per cent from the field and going 15/35 from three-point range against the 46 per cent from Goldfields and 9/26 from three.

The Tigers have now won four straight matches to improve to a 9-3 record with exciting import forward Taeshon Cherry providing 30 points on 12/16 shooting from the floor, 3/6 from three-point range and 3/3 at the free-throw line.

South West Slammers (75) lost to Perth Redbacks (92)

The Perth Redbacks took full advantage of a South West Slammers team without an import with the 92-75 road win on Saturday night.

Despite being sorely undermanned, the Redbacks produced a tremendous performance last Friday night to beat the East Perth Eagles ahead of their trip south on Saturday to take on the Slammers at Eaton Recreation Centre.

While Perth were still without Joe Cook-Green, Mathiang Muo and Callan McDonald, the Slammers were left decimated with a suspension to import centre Jamal Poplar with fellow import Calvin Whipple still out through injury.

Despite that, the Slammers started well to be leading 23-20 by quarter-time before the Redbacks worked on top in the second frame with 29 points to 17 thanks to going 8/11 at the foul line and sending South West there just once.

That meant Perth were leading 49-40 by half-time before continuing to build on that lead the rest of the way with it getting out to 12 points in the third quarter, and 17 in the fourth.

From there, the Redbacks secured the 17-point victory to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this season and improve to a 5-8 record.

Having won championships with Cockburn and Perry Lakes, and played in the NBL1 East and at the Perth Wildcats, Lochlan Cummings again showed his quality with 25 points, eight assists and seven rebounds in the win.

Emmanuel Kanwei added 17 points and six rebounds, Jonah Underwood 14 points and 12 boards, Michael Riley 10 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals, and Connor Mincherton nine points on 3/3 three-point shooting.

Gavin Deacon added 10 points on 4/6 field shooting while Rivar Evans contributed eight points, five rebounds and three assists, and 187-game veteran Clive Weeden six points, seven boards, two assists and two steals.

Rockingham Flames (108) defeated Perry Lakes Hawks (104)

For the second time in the space of 24 hours the Perry Lakes Hawks were part of a spectacular overtime battle and this time it wasn’t to be with Isaac White's 33 points leading the Rockingham Flames to the 108-104 extra time win.

Perry Lakes were coming off a stunning game the previous night against the Mandurah Magic where they prevailed 120-115 in overtime with Matt Leary leading the way with a career-best 45 points.

So they arrived at Mike Barnett Sports Complex on a high from that on Saturday night but the Flames also came into the match up on an eight-game winning streak and as the hottest team in the league.

The Flames did open up an early nine-point lead but the Hawks hit back with an 11-0 run to end up leading 25-21 by quarter-time.

Perry Lakes then ended up leading by 11 points in the second quarter but Rockingham hit back and by half-time had cut that lead for the Hawks back to just three points.

It was in the fourth quarter that the Hawks were able to open up a 10-point lead once more with 3:30 to play in regulation on the back of a three-pointer from Leary and then a three-point play from Keegan Phillips.

Over the next two minutes Rockingham scored the next nine points to get back to within just a point before Isaac White tied scores up with a minute to play.

That would be the last score of regulation with both teams missing some good looks and then ultimately Luke Phillips not getting a call on the final possession for Perry Lakes as he attacked the basket with Rockingham having lost import centre Jervon Pressley to injury.

Then in the extra period, the Flames scored the first five points thanks to White and Tevin Jackson before Laquinton Ross pushed their lead out to six when he converted a three-point play.

Jaden Stanley-Williams did make a three in the final minute to get Perry Lakes back within three points and then the Hawks had the chance to draw level after an offensive foul call on Emmett Naar.

However, Stanley-Williams' attempt didn’t fall and then Seva Chan was called for an unsportsmanlike foul which brought an end to the game effectively as time ran out after White made one of his two free-throw attempts.

The four-point overtime win improves Rockingham to an 11-1 record and to move into top spot with Warwick's loss also on Saturday night to the East Perth Eagles.

MVP candidate Isaac White finished with 33 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in the win for the Flames with 10/12 free-throw shooting even while going 1/8 from behind the three-point arc.

Laquinton Ross also delivered 22 points, 12 rebounds and two steals, Emmett Naar 16 points, 10 assists and six boards, Travis Durnin 12 points and five rebounds, Tevin Jackson 12 points, five boards and five assists, and Justin Beard nine points and five rebounds.

Perry Lakes are now 6-6 on the season after splitting their two overtime games this weekend with Nick Floyd stepping up big time for 22 points and 10 rebounds on 10/17 shooting in 24 minutes.

Jaden Stanley-Williams knocked down 6/11 from three-point range with 21 points while Matt Leary added another 17 points on 5/9 shooting from downtown to have 15 threes and 62 points for the weekend.

Luke Phillips also had 16 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks, and Keegan Phillips 14 points and five assists.

Mandurah Magic (83) lost to Lakeside Lightning (93)

The championship defence of the Mandurah Magic hit another hurdle at home on Saturday night with the Lakeside Lightning producing their best performance of 2025 to win 93-83.

The Magic were back home at Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre coming off an overtime thriller with the Perry Lakes Hawks on Friday that they lost by five points in a game featuring 235 of them.

They were playing host to a Lightning team trying to snap a four-game losing slide and it was Lakeside who had the better of the start to lead 23-11 by quarter-time despite only shooting 1/9 from downtown.

They did shoot 8/11 inside the arc while holding the Magic to the 11 points on 4/21 shooting.

The lead for the Lightning grew to 16 points in the second quarter and they were still on top 46-34 by the half-time break.

The closest the Magic then got in the second half was three points with five minutes to go in the game and they did have the momentum, but Lakeside proved to have the answers to pull away once more for the eventual 10-point victory.

The Lightning ended up pulling down 20 offensive rebounds for the game helping them to attempt an extra 11 field goals even with Mandurah getting to the line 30 times to their 19.

The win snaps a four-game losing run for the Lightning to improve them to a 3-9 record with AJ Wilson starring with 22 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots on 10/12 shooting.

Corey Shervill added 21 points, nine rebounds, four steals and three assists, Isaiah Lewis 17 points, six assists, four boards and two steals, Josh Davey 16 points, 15 rebounds and three assists, and Liam Patterson eight points and five assists.
