On Tuesday 14 March, the Carnabys flew to Sydney to jump-start their 2023 UBL<\/a> season with a face-off against the University of Sydney (USYD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women\u2019s <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their first official game of the 2023 UBL season, the Carnabys women\u2019s team went up against USYD, who were the 2022 runners-up in the women\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carnabys displayed a sense of fearlessness when it came to taking the shot but struggled a bit to maintain control of the ball, which unfortunately led to a 30-point loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game was relatively close in the first half thanks to strong moves inside by Ella Averill (#32) who brought the game to a brief draw in the first quarter. Averill has been one of the Carnabys\u2019 dominant players and is also a very skilful shooter, having led the scorecard in the Tuesday women\u2019s game. Another strong player was Shenae Hartree (#30) who averaged 15 rebounds a game in 2022 and was one of the leading scorers in the USYD game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At half-time, USYD had an 8-point lead which was shaved down to 5 points after Carnabys Captain Sarah Allen (#24) scored a 3-pointer in the 3rd quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the game progressed, the Carnabys struggled to successfully make their baskets with USYD constantly keeping up their pressure and defence. This resulted in a 16-point margin by the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Carnabys\u2019 last quarter was highlighted by a smooth 3-pointer from Aleka Kabugua (#8) and two points squeezed in by Hartree, the Carnabys missed out on the win. The final score was 74 – 44 (USYD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Carnabys men\u2019s team started off hot, they unfortunately dropped off and suffered a 31-point loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carnabys had a solid first quarter and kept up with last year\u2019s undefeated champions. A number of successful shots were taken by returning Carnabys Tim Hollick (#7) and Tobey Martin (#11), as well as by newcomer Dyson Lowe (#31). However, it was clear that USYD had a strong defence and knew how to keep the pressure up as they blocked some of the Carnabys\u2019 attempted throws. By the end of the first quarter, it was 24 – 14 (USYD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the outset, the Carnabys maintained strong possession, with Ali Rammal (#29) and Husam Roamer (#9) keeping up a strong presence. However, the west coast team struggled to execute its plays and capitalise on movement across the court. At half-time, the score was 46 – 24 in favour of USYD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 10 minutes left in the game, the Carnabys tried to keep up the pace, ultimately scoring another 16 points. Unfortunately, it wasn\u2019t a high-enough climb to surpass USYD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final score was 90 – 59 (USYD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the loss, the Carnabys had an excellent presence across the court and displayed a lot of scoring potential to hone in on for future games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
