North Dandenong, Australia - The top professional team in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL), the Dandenong Rangers rolled to a 71-42 win over Nebraska on Wednesday at the Dandenong Basketball Stadium.
Dandenong, which owns a 16-3 record and a four-game lead in first place in the SEABL standings, built an early advantage and never looked back against the Huskers, who were playing their second game in 24 hours on the early portion of their Australian Tour.
Dandenong, which included five-time WNBL All-Star Jacinta Kennedy who is averaging nearly 20 points per game on the year, also features long-time WNBL guards Aimie Clydesdale and Amelia Todhunter.
Full game stats were not immediately available after Wednesday's contest.
The Huskers, who opened their four-game tour of Australia against the Frankston Blues on Tuesday, spent part of the day Wednesday sight-seeing in Melbourne, including a visit to Eureka Tower. The tower, which climbs 975 feet above the banks of the Yarra River, offers brilliant 360-degree views of the city of Melbourne from its Skydeck on the 88th floor.
Nebraska, which is playing without the playing services of All-America point guard Rachel Theriot, senior transfer Kyndal Clark, Parade High School All-American post Jessica Shepard and junior guard Esther Ramacieri while they are recovering from various injuries, will leave Melbourne early Thursday morning to head to Cairns.
The eight-player Husker roster will take on Cairns in Manunda, Queensland at 7:30 p.m. (4:30 a.m. central) on Thursday at the Cairns Basketball Stadium. The Cairns Dolphins are members of the Australia-State League and own an 8-8 record in the QBL. They are led by former Wyoming standout Jade Kennedy, who was a two-year starter as a 6-1 forward for the Cowgirls from 2007-08 through 2010-11.
Following the game with Cairns, the Huskers will take Friday, Saturday and Sunday off from competition. The Big Red will visit the Great Barrier Reef on Friday.
