In a commanding performance on May 10, 2026, the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Women defeated the BA COE Women 80-67 in a National Women’s Basketball League1 East contest. The Sea Eagles delivered a well-rounded team effort, outworking the development squad from the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence to claim a decisive road victory.

Match Overview

From the opening tip, Manly Warringah established control with aggressive defence and efficient transition offense. BA COE, known for their young talent and fast-paced style, struggled to find consistent scoring against the Sea Eagles’ disciplined schemes. By halftime, the visitors had built a comfortable lead that they maintained through the second half.

Key Performers

Manly Warringah’s scoring was led by dynamic guard play and strong interior presence. Multiple players reached double figures, with the bench providing significant contributions to keep the pressure on BA COE. For the home side, the Centre of Excellence showed flashes of individual brilliance but lacked the collective cohesion to mount a sustained comeback.

Turning Point

A decisive third-quarter run by the Sea Eagles extended their lead to double digits. BA COE attempted to rally in the fourth quarter with full-court pressure, but Manly Warringah’s composure at the free-throw line and timely rebounds sealed the 13-point margin.

Season Implications

The victory boosts Manly Warringah’s position in the competitive NBL1 East standings, while BA COE will look to regroup as they continue their development season. The Sea Eagles’ ability to control the tempo against a younger opponent underscores their status as a contender in the league.
