After a tough loss from the men\u2019s and women\u2019s side to University of Sydney (USYD) on 14 March, see whether the Carnabys could make a turnaround in their second game of the UBL<\/a> season against University of Technology Sydney (UTS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women\u2019s<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carnabys women\u2019s team faced off against the University of Technology Sydney, a semi-finalist in the women\u2019s division for 2022. Despite a strong presence across the court, and determination which picked up in the second half, the Carnabys missed the win by a mere 5 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Carnabys were leading 21 – 13 by the end of Q1, UTS had rallied on the offense and were up 33 – 27 at half-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The score was back and forth for much of the second half, showing it could have been anyone\u2019s game. The teams even met in a 41-all draw before UTS finished the 3rd quarter in the lead 47 – 41.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key scorer during the game was 19-year-old Ella Thornton-Elliot (#20), whose ability to follow through across the court and reliably execute free throws made her a stand-out player. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five-foot-seven guard, Sarah Allen (#24), showcased her technique with a masterful 3-pointer with less than five minutes to spare, taking the score to 57 – 47 in favour of UTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last few minutes were nothing short of a gripping segment, as the teams were battling it out to get in as many baskets as possible. The Carnabys kept persevering to ultimately score a final five points, but unfortunately couldn\u2019t secure the win. The final score was 57 – 52 (UTS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the loss, the women\u2019s team certainly showed strong potential and talent and we look forward to seeing their growth over the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a tough loss to USYD on 14 March, the Carnabys men played against the UTS men\u2019s team who was last year\u2019s runner-up in the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first quarter of the game was a neck-and-neck competition between the west and east sides as they each maintained a good pace and held a draw for much of the first 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of Q1, there was a six-point margin with UTS in the lead before Point Guard Tim Hollick  (#7) scored the Carnabys\u2019 first 3-pointer of the game early in the second quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carnabys slightly dropped off in Q2 as they forced some shots from the outside which were made more difficult by UTS\u2019 defence. Nevertheless, 7-foot Kane Waters (#25), software engineering student Tobey Martin (#11), and \u201cscoring machine\u201d Dyson Lowe (#31) all executed some smooth jump shots to keep the Carnabys afloat in the middle quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowe certainly proved he\u2019s a force to be reckoned with after some impressive layups, crafty passes, and court speed during the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the third quarter, the Carnabys tightened up their plays with strong defence energy by the likes of Husam Roamer (#9). Waters continued to score baskets which took the Carnabys to the lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for the Carnabys, their lead was short-lived as the final quarter was UTS\u2019 highest-scoring period of the entire game. The final score was 62 – 48. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the loss, the Carnabys men\u2019s team played fiercely, and each displayed their unique strengths which will be advantageous for future games this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
