The women have retained top spot, but only by 1.7 per cent, after a double-header weekend where they lost to the Willetton Tigers (third) 51-62 away on Friday, but were victorious against the Perth Redbacks (10th) 53-40 at home on Saturday.
It was a damaging weekend for the men, with two losses leaving them teetering on the edge of the bottom six.
The side’s superior percentage to the ninth-placed Southwest Slammers is all that is keeping them in top-eight finals contention.
