Warwick Senators Dominate rival Mandurah Magic in High‑Scoring Affair

The Warwick Senators Women delivered a commanding performance to defeat the Mandurah Magic Women 98–83 on Friday night at Warwick Stadium. From the opening tip, the Senators controlled the tempo and never trailed, building an early lead that they extended throughout the night. The win cements Warwick’s place near the top of the NBL1 West women’s standings and sends a warning to the rest of the league.

Relentless Offence Powers the Senators

Warwick shot a blistering 55% from the field and assisted on 25 of their 38 made baskets, showcasing unselfish ball movement. Their three‑point shooting was especially potent – the team knocked down 12 triples at a 42% clip. The Magic simply had no answer for the Senators’ multi‑pronged attack, as five Warwick players finished in double figures.

Defensive Pressure Sets the Tone

While the offence dominated headlines, Warwick’s defence forced 18 Mandurah turnovers and converted them into 24 points. The Senators’ full‑court press in the second quarter triggered a 14‑2 run that pushed the lead to 20 points, effectively ending the contest before halftime. Mandurah had no consistent response against the relentless pressure.

Second Half – Magic Show Fight, but Senators Stay in Control

Mandurah refused to go quietly, trimming the deficit to 12 points late in the third quarter behind the hot hand of their shooting guard, who finished with 27 points. But every time the Magic threatened, Warwick answered with a bucket or a defensive stop. A 8‑0 run to start the fourth quarter restored the 20‑point cushion, and the Senators coasted to a comfortable win.

Star Performances

• Warwick Senators: The team’s star forward recorded a near triple‑double (22 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists). Two guards combined for 40 points and 11 assists, while the bench contributed 20 crucial points.
• Mandurah Magic: Their leading scorer’s 27 points were a bright spot, and the centre added a double‑double (12 points, 13 rebounds). However, the Magic’s inability to slow Warwick’s transition game proved fatal.

Standings and Outlook

With the victory, Warwick improves to 15–4, sitting comfortably inside the top two in the NBL1 West women’s ladder. Mandurah drops to 9–10, now fighting to hold onto a playoff berth. The Senators will carry significant momentum into next week’s top‑of‑the‑table showdown, while the Magic need to regroup quickly to keep their season alive.
