Griffin nets 22 points in first game back in Australia
October 20, 2014
Kelsey Griffin of Eagle River returned to the basketball court in Australia and picked up right where she left off.
The two-time Grand Finals MVP resumed her role with the two-time league champion Bendigo Spirit, asserting herself as one of the best players in the WNBL with a 22-point, 5-rebound effort in the season opener.
Bendigo actually lost the game 70-67 on the road to Townsville in a rematch of last year’s championship game.
Griffin, of Chugiak High fame, made 8-of-12 field goals and 5-of-6 free throws. The 6-foot-2 forward typically shoots the ball well.
One more point will be No. 700 for her career in Australia. She has averaged 15.2 in 46 regular-season games, a number that climbs to 24-per-game in the WNBL Grand Final.
