It was a tough but successful round for the Swinburne Kilsyth Cobras, as both teams undertook double headers; playing Geelong on Friday night, and hosting Albury/Wodonga at home on Saturday.  

The Swinburne Kilsyth Lady Cobras managed back to back wins in Round Three, starting with a solid overtime defeat of the Geelong Supercats on their home turf, taking out the game 68 to 61. The standout for the game was Sarah Parsons, scoring 12 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.  A Jordy O’Shea three on the buzzer of ordinary time was enough to take the hard fought contest to overtime and allow our girls to take out he road win. Carley Mijovic and OliviaBontempelli were also noticeable standouts scoring 15 and 14 point respectively.

The Swinburne Kilsyth Lady Cobras started off strong on Saturday night against the Albury/Wodonga Lady Bandits, leading at every turn. The Lady Bandits tried to take it back in the third quarter, however it wasn’t enough, with the Swinburne Lady Cobras taking home a convincing win, beating the opposition 76 to 59.

Jordyn O’Shea and once again Mijovic and Parsons all had great games, with O’Shea scoring 14 point including two 3pointers, Mijovic Scoring 15 points and Parson scoring 14 points.

After a disappointing and forgettable Friday night where the Swinburne Kilsyth Cobras went down to Geelong 88 to 52, the Swinburne Cobras were able to turn it around on Saturday, taking out their first win of the season in a closely contended match. Against the reigning SEABL Champions the Swinburne Kilsyth Cobras played the style of game more befitting their roster over the frenetic 40 minute battle. Swinburne Cobras import EJ Kusnyer had had a stellar game scoring 31 point including 7 from 11 behind arc. Also playing a great game was Tim Lang who scored 23 point and 9 rebounds. In a nail biting final quarter in which it could have gone either way, the Swinburne Cobras took the upper hand defeating the Bandits 83 to 76.
