The Pakenham Warriors’ Big V basketball Division 2 women’s side will play Melbourne University Black Angels in the grand finals this weekend.

When the two star sides met in the playoffs only a short time ago, the Warriors came away with a 71-61 victory. Keeley Patterson starred that day with 21 points and three steals and will once again be crucial to the Warriors’ chances of bringing home some silverware.

Although finishing a position lower than the Black Angels in the standings, the Warriors have won two of the three contests this season between the two sides.

The first of the best of three game grand final series will commence will tip off at 7pm at Melbourne University on Saturday night.

The second game – the following week – will be played at Cardinia Life on Saturday 31 August. Then, if required, a deciding match the following day, also at Cardinia Life, will tip off from noon.
