Sunbury Jets’ patchy form has continued, with the Jets losing their third game out of the past four in Big V women’s state championship division.
After a better performance last game against Keilor Thunder, the Jets were left to rue a poor third quarter on Sunday against Ringwood Hawks.
The Jets led by three points at quarter-time, before the Hawks led by two at the main break.
The third quarter saw the Hawks break open the game, scoring 25-10 to increase the lead to 17 points at the last change.
The Jets won the last quarter, with their best quarter of the game, but couldn’t close the gap, losing 75-64.
Orla O’Reilly top-scored with 22 points, with Josie Stockill the only other player in double figures.
The Jets, though, were missing two of their starters, Monique Stevens and Elyce Penaluna.
The loss leaves the Jets sitting 3-4.
Meanwhile, the Jets’ men’s side proved no match for Warrnambool Seahawks on Saturday night in division 1.
The Seahawks started well and led by 15 points at quarter-time and they were able to extend the lead in the second and third quarters. The Jets won the final quarter, but the game was already over, with the Seahawks winning 94-72.
Te Puao Silver top-scored with 18 points.
The youth league side remains undefeated after two wins at the weekend.
On Saturday night they defeated Hume City Broncos before backing it up on Sunday against Coburg Giants.
