Sabres Power Trio Shut Down Warriors

Woodville Warriors (62) lost to Sturt Sabres (86)

The Sturt Sabres Women have beaten the Woodville Warriors by 24 points, 86-62, at St. Clair on Saturday night.
 
Both teams were evenly matched throughout the first half, trading baskets and the lead multiple times in the first quarter. The Sabres held the narrowest of margins during the second quarter, Woodville threatening to take the lead but no managing to do so.
 
The second half was a different story. Sturt, leading 42-40 with 6:21 left in the third, held the Warriors scoreless for over 4 minutes and extended their lead to 13 points. Sturt had taken control of the game and through Hannah Richards, Natalie Novosel and Lucy Spalding, cruised to the win.
 
Carmen Reynolds' double-double (21 points, 10 rebounds) was an excellent performance despite the loss. Katherine Perkas added 18 points and 9 rebounds for Woodville.
 
Richards (18 points, 9 rebounds), Novosel (17 points) and Spalding (15 points, 13 rebounds) were much better for the Sabres. Richards especially was a handful for the Warrior defence as she commanded attention in and around the post area.
