Big V: Werribee Devils deliver mixed bag

THE Werribee Devils’ women’s team put in their most dominant display of the Big V division 2 basketball season on Sunday but the men’s team crashed to an eight-point defeat.

The women, sitting second with only one loss this season, thrashed Western Port Steelers 63-19, remarkably holding the Steelers scoreless in the opening stanza.

Three Devils – Lisa Troyahn (12), Emma Coyne (12) and Jacqueline Silcock (10) – scored double-figure points.

Meanwhile, the Werribee men remain in sixth place in the state championship after a 87-79 loss to third-ranked Ringwood Hawks.

The Devils outscored the Hawks in the first and third quarters but were hammered 37-21 in the second.

Jordan Hughes (21) and Dion Jewell (20) led the way for Werribee.
