Center Emily Tang recorded a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds, anchoring the Cougars’ interior dominance. For Hume City, forward Maya Singh finished with 12 points and 7 rebounds, but she received little support as the rest of the Broncos combined for just 37 points on poor efficiency.

Season Impact

The victory improved McKinnon’s record to 9–2 and solidified their position near the top of the Big V Women’s League standings. Their defensive rating has been among the best in the competition, and this performance further emphasised their championship credentials. For Hume City, the loss dropped them to 3–8, leaving them in the lower half of the table. The Broncos will need to regroup quickly to avoid slipping further out of playoff contention.
