Staff WriterJoondalup Times

All SBL women’s games will be played in what is normally the men’s slot of 8pm in a new initiative by the league to celebrate the contribution of women in basketball.

The Wolves face the Suns at Ray Owen Sports Centre, with the men’s game to be played at 6.30pm.

Joondalup is on one of its worst losing runs in years after the Senators defeated the side 69-68 at Warwick Stadium last Friday night.

The loss came despite strong efforts from the Wolves stars with Klara Wischer (17 points, 10 assists), Nikita Martin (17 points, 9 rebounds), Chelsea Belcher (16 points) and Ellyce Ironmonger (14 points, 13 rebounds) producing impressive performances.
