Dallimore hit three long-range baskets in the second half as Panthers were emphatic 45-point winners in the end.

Scamozzi top-scored for Panthers with 17 points and she was well supported by Thomas (12 points), Dallimore (11), Kerr (11) and Sheridan Kowald (10). Corbett had 15 points for Crystal Blues. ,
