NBL1 East: Norths Bears 

The Norths Bears went down to Canberra and beat the then-undefeated CoE by five points on Saturday. 

Carla Pitman and Madeleine O'Hehir both put up 20 points while holding the CoE to only 48.7 percent from inside the arc (CoE shot 60.9 percent from inside the arc in Round 3). 

NBL1 South: Knox Raiders 

The NBL1 South MVP was back in action on Sunday with a massive 37-point and 14-rebound performance to beat Keilor at home. 

If she continues this form, she’ll be the front-runner for MVP once again and a lock for the NBL1 South Finals with the Raiders for 2023.
