🇦🇺 Arizona State 85, SEMO 56 (Final)
Thanksgiving Tournament MTE
Senior guard Last-Tear Poa, from Melbourne, delivered her first career double double as Arizona State powered to a dominant win over SEMO. Poa controlled the tempo throughout, finishing with a 12 points and 10 assists, active perimeter defense and one of her most efficient scoring nights of the year. Her playmaking was the anchor of the Sun Devils’ offense, setting the tone early and helping ASU build separation across all four quarters. Poa transferred to Arizona State from LSU, where she won a national championship.
Last-Tear Poa – Arizona State Sun Devils (Sr, G, Melbourne, VIC)
- Minutes: 28 │ Points: 12 │ Rebounds: 5 │ Assists: 10 │ Steals: 2 │ Blocks: 0 │ Turnovers: 2 │ FG: 5–11 │ 3PT: 1–4 │ FT: 1–2 │ Fouls: 2
🇦🇺 Duquesne 60, Liberty 67 (Final)
Navy Classic
Sophomore forward Harriet Ford, from Perth, battled through limited minutes as Duquesne fell to Liberty in a tight contest at the Navy Classic. Ford still found ways to contribute on the glass and added a pair of free throws, though foul trouble and a cold shooting night curtailed her usual impact. The Dukes struggled to generate consistent offense late, and Ford’s reduced floor time proved significant as Liberty closed the game with a strong final stretch.
Harriet Ford – Duquesne Dukes (So, F, Perth, WA)
- Minutes: 11 │ Points: 4 │ Rebounds: 3 │ Assists: 0 │ Steals: 0 │ Blocks: 0 │ Turnovers: 2 │ FG: 1–7 │ 3PT: 0–0 │ FT: 2–2 │ Fouls: 2
🇦🇺 Boston College 77, Murray State 82 (Final)
Daytona Beach Classic
Sophomore guard Lily Carmody, from Melbourne, delivered another steady two-way outing for Boston College despite the Eagles’ narrow loss to Murray State. Carmody scored efficiently, knocked down a three, and was active defensively with two steals. Foul trouble limited her impact late, however, as BC’s comeback push fell just short in the final minutes.
Lily Carmody – Boston College Eagles (So, G, Melbourne, VIC)
- Minutes: 24 │ Points: 9 │ Rebounds: 4 │ Assists: 0 │ Steals: 2 │ Blocks: 0 │ Turnovers: 1 │ FG: 4–9 │ 3PT: 1–2 │ FT: 0–0 │ Fouls: 5

UIC vs 🇦🇺 Loyola Chicago

🇦🇺 Stanford 62, Colorado State 60 (Final)
Resorts World Classic
Freshman forward Lara Somfai, from Adelaide, delivered a standout performance in Stanford’s narrow win over Colorado State, dominating the glass with a career-best 16 rebounds. Somfai’s presence inside steadied the Cardinal during key stretches, while her defensive activity and late-game composure helped Stanford hold off a late CSU surge. Her growing impact as a first-year forward continues to be one of Stanford’s most promising early-season developments.
Lara Somfai – Stanford Cardinal (Fr, F, Adelaide, SA)
- Minutes: 33 │ Points: 9 │ Rebounds: 16 │ Assists: 1 │ Steals: 0 │ Blocks: 2 │ Turnovers: 0 │ FG: 4–10 │ 3PT: 0–3 │ FT: 1–2 │ Fouls: 3
🇦🇺 UC Santa Barbara 66, Chattanooga 64 (Final)
CBU Classic – Championship
UC Santa Barbara’s Australian duo delivered again on the biggest stage of the CBU Classic, helping the Gauchos edge Chattanooga to claim the tournament title. Olivia Bradley powered UCSB with a highly efficient 17 points, stretching the floor and providing steady inside scoring. Zoe Shaw added timely baskets, disruptive perimeter defense, and four steals in a pivotal two-way performance. Together, the sophomores played major roles in securing the championship win, combining for 26 points and shaping the Gauchos’ fourth-quarter resilience.
Olivia Bradley – UC Santa Barbara Gauchos (So, F, Adelaide, SA)
- Minutes: 29 │ Points: 17 │ Rebounds: 4 │ Assists: 0 │ Steals: 0 │ Blocks: 0 │ Turnovers: 4 │ FG: 7–11 │ 3PT: 2–4 │ FT: 1–2 │ Fouls: 3

🇦🇺 Kansas State 70, South Dakota State 82 (Final)
Cancun Challenge – Mayan Division
Senior guard Tess Heal, from Melbourne, had a quiet outing as Kansas State fell to South Dakota State in the Mayan Division of the Cancun Challenge. Limited to 10 minutes, Heal was unable to find a scoring rhythm and finished without a made field goal, though she provided disciplined minutes in a game where the Wildcats struggled to slow SDSU’s perimeter attack.
Tess Heal – Kansas State Wildcats (Sr, G, Melbourne, VIC)
- Minutes: 10 │ Points: 0 │ Rebounds: 0 │ Assists: 0 │ Steals: 0 │ Blocks: 0 │ Turnovers: 0 │ FG: 0–2 │ 3PT: 0–1 │ FT: 0–0 │ Fouls: 2

🇦🇺 San Diego 37, Little Rock 51 (Final)
Thanksgiving Tournament MTE
San Diego’s Australian pair logged meaningful minutes despite the Toreros falling to Little Rock in a low-scoring defensive battle. Malia Tharpe provided energy on the interior, grabbing four boards, adding a steal and an assist, and battling through heavy defensive attention in her 26 minutes. Lilly Amor added 11 minutes off the bench, but the Toreros struggled to generate consistent offense, with both Australians contributing defensively even as points proved hard to come by.
