WNBL1 recap: 10/11 February - live streams, stats and more

It was an entertaining yet straightforward weekend in D1W, with the top four all winning.

Dominance at the top meant there was little movement elsewhere in the standings as the season continues to steam towards the playoffs.

We take a look at all the weekend's action below, with links to live stats and live streams at the bottom of the page.

Manchester Mystics (8-7) 64-76 Endeavour Ipswich Basketball (13-3)

Endeavour Ipswich Basketball maintained their spot at the top after a 76-64 victory on the road in Manchester.

Harriet Welham played the full 40 minutes for an impressive 18-point, eight-rebound, seven-assist stat line, leading a balanced Ipswich offence that saw five other players score eight or more points.

Christabel Osarobo (12pts, 12reb, 6stl) and Louisa Gibbins (10pts, 12reb) both picked up double-doubles, cancelling out 23 points, 11 rebounds and five assists from Manchester's Rehana Khalil.

With scoring options at every turn, that was an output Manchester struggled to match and the contest's pivotal stretch came just after half-time when the visitors enjoyed an 11-0 run, creating a double-digit lead that they'd retain for the there.

Manchester did get their deficit down to just three points in the final frame but Ipswich were able to regroup and get themselves over the line for another important win, despite the absence of Liv Forster.

Manchester remain in the mix for a playoff spot, but there's only a two-point gap between the Mystics and Bristol and ARU below.
