REPLAY: Div 2 – Mackay Comettes def by Rockhampton Cyclones 50-43

Rockhampton have earned bragging rights over their rivals in Mackay after recording an seven-point win to tip-off the second day of the NewsCorp livestream of the state championships in Toowoomba.

Both the Cyclones and Comettes went into this game needed a victory after mixed results on day one, where Rockhampton lost both and Mackay split their two games.
But it was Rockhampton who came out stronger, grabbing a slender lead at the end of a hardfought first quarter and from there, the Cyclones were able to maintain the gap until the final whistle.

Mackay kept fighting but Rockhampton had an answer for each Comettes run to record their first win of the tournament.

Emily Tweedy and Savannah Hoad both had 14 points for the Cyclones while Alley Simpson (14 points) and Olivia Smyth (10 points) both reached double figures for Mackay.

REPLAY: Div 3 – SC Phoenix Orange def Gladstone Power 40-38

The Sunshine Coast Phoenix have produced the comeback of the tournament so far, fighting their way back from 10 points down in the final quarter to take a two-point win over the Gladstone Power.

After the first half, the game was evenly poised with Gladstone holding a 12-10 lead but the Power dominated the third, winning the period 19-11 to take a double-digit lead into the fourth quarter.

The Phoenix had more in them though as the Sunshine Coast stormed back with Gladstone struggling to put a stop to their momentum.

The Sunshine Coast continued their run, grabbing a 39-38 lead with just seconds remaining before a late technical foul allowed the Phoenix to seal the victory, their first of the tournament while the Power are still trying to get in the winner’s column.

Yasmin Hewitt led the scoring for the Phoenix with 13 points while Summer Robertson had 12.

Lilly Grima had nine points for Gladstone.

REPLAY: Div 2 – Cairns Corals def Townsville Lightning 51-46

A 26-11 fourth quarter has helped the Cairns Corals to a comeback win over local rivals the Townsville Lightning in their Division 2 pool stage clash in Toowoomba.

The Lightning were the better team through quarters, holding a lead at each break before the Corals clicked into gear to start the final period.

Cairns reduced the lead to just five points within a minute into the fourth and with Matilda Green (13 points) and Ava Bolton (13 points) firing on the offensive end, the Corals were able to complete the fightback - the second comeback as part of our livestream schedule today.

Keely Andrews had 12 points for Townsville.

REPLAY: Div 3 - Brisbane Capitals Bronze def by Maryborough Magic 50-36

The Maryborough Magic have recorded their first win of the tournament after a hard-earned 13-point victory over the Brisbane Capitals Bronze team in their last round game in Pool C of the Division 3 tournament.

Maryborough and Brisbane were both up for the challenge as each team tried to break their winless start to the competition in Toowoomba.

And it was the Magic who got the jump on the Capitals grabbing an early lead and then building on it to hold a 19-12 advantage at halftime.

The Capitals didn’t go away though, matching their opponents basket for basket in the third quarter but they just couldn’t eat away at Maryborough’s lead as the regional Queensland team still held a 35-26 lead at the final break.

Any chance the Capitals had of a comeback was taken away early in the fourth quarter as the Magic built on their lead and continued their form until the end of the game.
