Ballarat Skoda Rush fought out a four-point victory over BA’s Centre of Excellence at the Mars Minerdome to keep its finals hopes alive after starting the season with nine straight losses.
But Hobart Chargers defeated Frankston in a match played at the same time to keep Rush outside the eight.
Still, the season ended on a high note for Rush, finishing with a five-game winning streak and pulling off a 11-2 record in the final 13 games.
Rush coach David Flint said it was a great turnaround from the girls.
“I’m just so proud of the group about how they didn’t quit, for us to grow so much in such a short period of time is awesome,” he said.
Ashleigh Spencer dominated with 33 points.
