Women's Reviews - Round 3

Lauren Mansfield

North Adelaide Rockets 88 (L. Mansfield 18, K. Ollino 12, J. Piwanski 11)
Eastern Mavericks 62 (J. Fricker 17, D. Wilcox 13, A. Williams 12)

North recovered from a nail-biting loss the night before to win comfortably against Eastern. The Mavs, coached by former Rocket Brenton Johnston, had good productivity from Jamie Fricker, whose 17 points came at 55%, and 17 year old Lauren Mansfield led the scoring for the Rockets, her 17 points including two three pointers. Jane Symons and Jamie-Lee Peris both had double doubles.

Sturt Sabres 74 (A. Marino 18, C. Nixon 14, B. Bowley 13)
Southern Tigers 69 (T. Walker 22, T. Beatty 14, K.Hilton 10, O.Warnes 10, R.Redden 10)

Keen to maintain their unbeaten record while awaiting the return of Pasadena, Sturt were quick out of the blocks, and led by 13 at quarter time. The Sabres maintained this lead at half time, but an 18-6 third quarter allowed the Tigers to get back within 3 at 3/4 time, before Sturt steadied in the fourth to win by 5. Caroline Nixon had 6 assists and 7 rebounds to go with her 14 points, and Leah Cannon had 8 assists for the second time in the weekend.

South Adelaide Panthers 78 (J. Browne 19, K. Truslove 15, V. Kelson 14)
Norwood Flames 52 (J. O'Malley 11, K. Olsen 10, N. Romeo 9)

South's 25 point first quarter set up a match-winning lead against the young Norwood team, helped by 6 points in a row from Kerrin Truslove. Norwood played some full court defence to change the pace of the game, and this slowed South's scoring rate, but the Flames were unable to score themselves, as evidenced by an 11-13 third quarter. Emily Fryters battled hard and finished with 10 rebounds. For South, Truslove had 13 rebounds, and Vikki Kelson had 9 rebounds.
