WNBA All-Star centre Liz Cambage has become an Australian WNBL champion again with the Melbourne-based Southside Flyers.
Cambage was in early foul trouble but had 14 points and five rebounds on Sunday in the Flyers' 99-82 win over the Townsville Fire in the WNBL grand final. The Flyers triumph was particularly poignant for Cambage and teammate Jenna O'Hea, who were also WNBL champions together for the Bulleen Boomers way back in 2010-11."I saw a photo of us celebrating the Boomers grand final like 10 years ago."I hadn't even thought about signing yet, I just wanted that moment again with Jenna."I'm just so happy I get to do this again with her.
Leilani Mitchell was named the Rachael Sporn Medallist as the game's outstanding player, pouring in 31 points.The season was packed into seven weeks with all eight teams moving to Queensland to play."It's been a marathon.The 29-year-old England-born star missed the WNBA season for the Las Vegas Aces after being medically excused by the league's independent panel of doctors who deemed her to be at high risk for getting severe illness if she contracted COVID-19.
