• Leading scorer for Logan: The Thunder’s top offensive threat poured in 26 points on efficient shooting, including 4 three-pointers and a perfect 6-for-6 from the free-throw line.
• Rebounding dominance: Logan controlled the glass, grabbing 44 rebounds compared to 31 for South West Metro, creating second-chance opportunities that widened the gap.
• Defensive pressure: The Thunder forced 18 turnovers and turned them into 24 points, a key factor in the blowout win.

For the Pirates, a bright spot came from their point guard, who registered a team-high 22 points and 7 assists, but lacked sufficient support from the rest of the roster.

Game Deciding Factors

The game was effectively decided in the third quarter, when Logan Thunder Women outscored the visitors by 10 points and shot over 55% from the field.

Impact on the League

The victory keeps Logan Thunder firmly in contention near the top of the National Women’s Basketball League1 North standings. Their high-powered offense, averaging over 92 points per game, looks increasingly dangerous as the season enters its critical stretch.

With this result, Logan Thunder Women have now won four of their last five home games, building a fortress at their home arena that opposing teams will find difficult to breach.
