NBL1xWBL Wrap: Round 12

Round 12 of the WNBL is over and there is a whole host of 2023 NBL1 stars lighting up. 

Let’s see how some of them went below:

Robbi Ryan continues to be a star out West

Joondalup Wolves star Robbi Ryan has been a sensation for the Perth Lynx this season. In two wins over the Spirit and Boomers, Ryan was dominant with an average of 17 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3 assists.  

After a 2-0 Round 12, the Lynx are only two games behind the Spirit for fourth place. As their NBL1 stars like Frankston’s Chloe Bibby and Cockburn’s Jessie Edwards have been key pieces alongside Ryan for Perth this season.

McKay stays in Bendigo 

After an NBL1 season littered with double-doubles, Bendigo Braves star Megan McKay has re-signed for the 2023 NBL1 season.

Taking the Braves to the NBL1 South Grand Final, McKay averaged 20.1 points, (shooting 64 percent from the field) and 11.7 rebounds for the star-studded squad. 

Against the Lynx, she had 10 points and three rebounds and has been one of the key pieces in the Spirit’s finals run this season.
