Wolves bite Archers to move into Top 8
WBBL Championship
Cardiff Met Archers 52-76 Oaklands Wolves (14-28, 28-40, 46-53)
Oaklands Wolves won in South Wales thanks mainly to the do-it-all Roya Rustamzada and it means they now find themselves occupying a Play-Offs spot.
That should give them a big boost heading into the last couple of months of the season.
Leading scorers – Carsi Silva 14, Stef Collins 11, Sarah Jorgensen 10 (Archers); Roya Rustamzada 16, Anneke Schluter 14, Beth Sarson 13 (Wolves)
Turning point – Archers are struggling and can’t afford to give teams a head start, which is exactly what they did by leaking 28 points in the opening period.
Key stat – Great control from Wolves with just 8 turnovers in the 40 minutes. Very tidy.
Game hero(es) – It was an all-action effort from Rustamzada with 16 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals.
