The nightmare stopped on Wednesday for Canberra as they rallied in the second half and won 92-85 over Anneli Maley and Bendigo with Rae Burrell and Shaneice Swain providing the scoring. Sydney finally recorded a win over a team that was not Adelaide on Thursday when Jocelyn Willoughby led them past Adelaide 81-77. The surprises continued on Friday with Sami Whitcomb and Amy Atwell firing Perth past Maddison Rocci and Southside 94-86. Order was restored on Saturday when Cayla George was dominant for first place Melbourne in a 78-57 win over Rae Burrell and last place Canberra. Bendigo bounced back with an 86-68 win over Adelaide. Sunday’s game was Townsville’s 92-77 win over Sydney behind Mikaela Ruef.
