The Division 2 men secured their second win for the season after defeating third-ranked Blackburn, 89 - 85.

The Division 1 women slipped a few rungs on the ladder following a disappointing loss to Warrnambool, 83 – 67. University was unable to crack Warrnambool’s impenetrable defence.

Claire Pownell is the top point scorer for University, averaging 10.6 points per game. Pownell is the 6th highest scorer overall for the Division 1 women in the Big V League.
