Wallace, Walshe drive Dragons past Warriors
Kaitlyn Wallace (below) had a 10-point, 11-rebound, 11-assist triple-double, Megan Walshe (above) led all scorers with 20 points and Rachael Smith registered a 13-point, 19-rebound, six-steal double-double as our Youth League Women pulled away for a 72-63 Big V win against Pakenham at Balwyn High School today.
The Warriors held the Dragons to just five points in the third quarter on their way to slicing a seven-point deficit at the half to just three with a quarter to play, but Camberwell had all the answers down the stretch.
With Walshe on target from the three-point line (4-of-9 from the arc) and Jacinta Li adding 17 points, six rebounds and three assists, the Dragons outscored their guest 26-20 over the last 10 minutes to secure their third straight win, and 14th of the season.
They’re third in the Big V Youth League One competition with a 14-5 record, behind unbeaten Eltham (19-0) and Bulleen (15-3).
