It was a huge week of Quarter Finals action in the New Balance University Basketball League, as the AU Waatu split results.

The men’s team travelled to Newcastle to take on UON, pushing their opponents all the way to overtime before going down gallant in defeat, 78-74. MVP Curtis Scott once again provided the spark, dropping 18 points and providing seven assists.

Back home, the women’s team played host to USYD at Pridham Hall, reversing the result from earlier in the season and pushing through with a huge 74-64 win to secure home court advantage throughout the rest of the finals series.

MVP Annika Uzcategui-Montenegro was pivotal to the victory, scoring seven of the team’s 15 points in the final quarter and bringing down eight rebounds to push the AU Waatu over the line and into their first-ever Semi Final.

➡️ Cheer on your AU Waatu again as they take on La Trobe this Wednesday from 6:30pm at Pridham Hall in the Semi Final! Come along from 4:30pm to watch the Semi Final between University of Melbourne and University of Tasmania.
