Women's Tournament

Day 5: Saturday, January 31, 2026

Victoria Navy 81, Australian Capital Territory 54

Quarter Scores: Q1 15–13 │ Q2 26–23 │ Q3 29–9 │ Q4 11–9
Largest Lead: Victoria Navy by 29
Game Context: Pool play – Day 5

Victoria Navy turned a tight first half into a blowout with a decisive third-quarter separation, outscoring ACT 29–9 to break the game open. The margin was built on defensive disruption and conversion – Victoria Navy generated 17 steals, forced 26 turnovers, and turned those extra possessions into 23 points off turnovers, while also getting out in transition for 20 fast-break points.

Sierra Woolhouse drove the scoring punch with 20 points on 7-from-11 shooting, mixing rim finishes (5-of-5 on twos) with timely perimeter makes, while Melinna Kapetanas added 13 points and three assists and finished possessions defensively with three turnovers forced and two blocks. Evelyn Martyn controlled the glass with seven rebounds to go with 12 points and two blocks, and Isabelle Godfrey filled multiple lanes with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists, helping Victoria Navy keep the ball moving (17 assists) and maintain pressure through the middle quarters.

ACT’s best stretch came early, staying within two at quarter time and matching Victoria Navy’s scoring in the second, but the offence couldn’t hold once the game sped up. Achol Agok produced 11 points and eight rebounds while carrying a heavy load inside and on the glass, and Katiah-Ann Tait led scoring with 15 points on 7-from-13 shooting, but ACT’s ball security and shot profile were exposed during the third-quarter run. Zara Funnell finished with four assists and Amber Virgo provided seven points off the bench, though ACT managed just seven assists as a team against Victoria Navy’s pressure.

Tasmania 68, Western Australia 54

Quarter Scores: Q1 12–13 │ Q2 17–14 │ Q3 26–14 │ Q4 13–13
Largest Lead: Tasmania by 14
Game Context: Pool play – Day 5

Tasmania absorbed a low-scoring first half, then broke the game open with a decisive third quarter, outscoring Western Australia 26–14 to take control. The swing came through shot volume, ball movement and turnovers – Tasmania took 31 more field-goal attempts (77–46), moved it for 18 assists, and won the turnover battle 11–22, converting those extra possessions into a 20–11 edge in points off turnovers.

Portia Chopping and Nikki Parker set the scoring base with 15 apiece – Chopping did it with a mix of rim pressure and perimeter volume, while Parker stayed active on the offensive glass and finished plays late in the clock. Millie Baker’s shot didn’t fall (1-from-11), but she controlled the game in other ways, posting nine rebounds and seven assists as Tasmania kept generating second and third chances (19 second-chance points). Andie Smith provided efficient interior scoring (13 points on 5-from-7) to punish Western Australia’s rotations when Tasmania got downhill.

Western Australia stayed connected early and lived at the line (21-from-25), but the offence stalled once the perimeter shooting dried up – WA hit just 1-from-16 from three (6%), and struggled to convert half-court possessions against Tasmania’s pressure (13 steals). Emma Clark led WA with 14 points on strong two-point finishing, Aysha Kemp added nine points and 11 rebounds, and Emilie Beggs worked into nine points with three assists, but the shot profile and turnover count left too much ground to make up after the main break.

Queensland 111, Victoria Navy 106

Quarter Scores: Q1 16–32 │ Q2 34–26 │ Q3 33–20 │ Q4 28–28
Largest Lead: Victoria Navy by 22
Game Context: Pool play – Day 5

Victoria Navy jumped Queensland early (32–16 in Q1) and had the game stretched to a 22-point margin, but Queensland flipped it with sustained scoring pressure across the middle two quarters, winning Q2 and Q3 by a combined 67–46 to take control. The finish stayed live, but Queensland’s shot quality and transition production across the full 40 kept them in front late.

Ash McGrath drove the turnaround with 30 points on 10-from-19 shooting, including 5-from-8 from three and 5-from-8 at the line, and Queensland had multiple high-efficiency contributors around him – Harry Cook scored 16 on 8-from-10 (all twos), Brayden Huff added 12, and Kurt Siwek posted 13 and nine rebounds on 6-from-8. Zac McDowell-White stabilised the offence with five assists.

For Victoria Navy, Jarvis Neal led with 22 points on 9-from-18, and the perimeter stayed dangerous all day – the Navy hit 16 threes at 41%. Malik Davis and Chayse Vincent scored 16 each, Patrick Wickham had 14 with 11 rebounds, and bench shooting kept them in touch (Brock Salter 14, Levi Munyard 10, Nicholas Beattie 12). The difference was how Queensland repeatedly got downhill and ran – they owned the paint 64–36 and finished with 29 fast-break points, plus a 22–13 edge in second-chance points.
