Australian League Semifinals Game 2 March 11th-12th
Melbourne needed to win on Saturday to extend their season and Cayla George and Kristy Wallace made sure that would happen early in a 96-77 triumph over Southside. It was Perth’s turn to try to avoid elimination on Sunday, but Sami Whitcomb’s efforts still left them short against Tianna Hawkins and Townsville, which advanced with a 91-84 win.

French League Round 16 March 11th-12th
This round had another busy Saturday and Angers stayed in the playoff picture with a 75-71 win over Landes. Roche stopped their slide with a 96-60 win over Landerneau. Both teams also had an eye on continental play midweek, but Villeneuve-d’Ascq was impressive in an 82-72 win even with Yvonne Anderson and Laetitia Guapo having good games for Bourges. Toulouse fielded the lineup that they hope will help them escape, but Saint-Amand won 61-54. Lyon nearly missed out on being all alone in first place, but managed to grind out a 56-54 win over Tarbes. Sunday’s lone game saw Charleville-Mezieres move to the top of the teams in the middle third and hand a rare loss to a top four team from outside the top four with an 82-80 win over Julie Vanloo and Lattes Montpellier.

Polish League Quarterfinals Game 2 March 12th
Each series continued on Sunday with teams looking to build bigger leads or even the series ahead of a change in venues next weekend. Polkowice is one win from advancing after a 109-57 win over Polonia Warszawa. Zaglebie Sosnowiec just needs a win at home for a seeding upset as Jessica January’s triple-double helped them win 71-66 even though Agnieszka Skobel had a good game for Poznan. Alanna Smith was fantastic again in Gorzow’s 100-72 win over Sleza Wroclaw. The last game of the day saw Aleksandra Stanacev and Lublin win narrowly again, this time 77-74 over Haley Gorecki and Arka Gdynia.
