Big V: Werribee Devils clinch top spot

WERRIBEE Devils have clinched top spot in the Victorian Basketball League Big V women’s division 2 finals.

The Devils knew a single win over this double header weekend would be enough to earn home court advantage throughout the playoffs.

They got the job done tonight with a 60-53 win over Warrnambool Mermaids on the road at the Warrnambool Basketball Stadium.

Elisha Burnette continued her sizzling form with a double double 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Captain Emma Coyne scored a team high 18 points, while Lisa Troyahn finished with 10 points and eight rebounds.

The result means tomorrow’s first-versus-second blockbuster between the Devils and Southern Peninsula at the Werribee Sports and Fitness Centre is akin to a dead rubber.
