Women stay strong while men hang on

Staff ReporterWanneroo Times

A loss for Joondalup’s men against Perry Lakes on Saturday could put the side outside finals contention for the first time this season.

Trian Iladis found form after a long stint out through injury, with a 32-point game in the men’s 97-89 defeat at the hands of the East Perth Eagles at Morley Sport and Recreation Centre last weekend.

The Eagles put a strong side on the court with NBL Rookie of the Year Tom Jervis (23 points, 11 rebounds), Wildcats-listed Mathiang Muo and Wildcats development player Sunday Dech combining for 50 points between them. Wolves import Ephrem Davis filled the stats with 16 points, 12 rebounds, two steals, one assist and three blocks.
