 Lady Miners spring back 

Lady Miners spring back

12/05/2008 4:00:00 AM
BALLARAT Lady Miners have put their campaign back on track less than 24 hours after looking gone in the South East Australian Basketball League.

Still licking their wounds from a 101-77 towelling by Kilsyth in Ballarat on Saturday night, the Lady Miners walked all over Nunawading yesterday.

The Ballarat Community Health Lady Miners defeated the Spectres 83-62 at Nunawading.

Not only was it a major form reversal from the day before, it was also 34-point turnaround from a week earlier when Nunawading comprehensively defeated Ballarat by 13 points.

Coach Kym Cassells said the Lady Miners had produced their best and worst games of the year in the one weekend.

"Every player had a point to prove (against Nunawading).

"A lot of us were down."

Cassells would not go into specifics about what was said behind closed doors after capitulating to Kilsyth, but indicated there had been frank discussion with some home truths.

She said the improvement had been across the board.

"Every single person played her role," Cassells said.

The performance of captain Lynly Doherty in keeping Nunawading's Jenna O'Hea to 16 points was significant.

Michelle Musselwhite completed what could easily be another SEABL player of the week double with 31 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals against the Spectres.

This followed 22 points, including 9-10 from the free-throw line, against Kilsyth, which was led by tireless former Lady Miners captain Desi Glaubitz (19 points) and potent Gemma Kerr (23).

The weekend split was not enough to keep Ballarat in the top four, but with just four losses remains well placed with a testing doubleheader against Southern Districts in Brisbane at the weekend.
