QSL Women’s statistics: Who are the sharp shooters?
THIS week’s Queensland State League (QSL) Women’s stat piece hones in on the sharp shooters across the league, taking into account their accuracy whether it be from two-point range or from deep. It is no surprise that Maddison Rocci leads all comers when it comes to field goals with 95 made for the season and three-pointers given her explosiveness for Rip City while Ashleigh Karaitiana is another big name making waves with her hot hand as she proves to be a handful for opposition teams. Accuracy does not seem to be an issue for Caitlin Clancy featuring in the top five for conversions off three-pointers and free-throws showcasing her impressive rhythm. Northside Wizards have a couple of stars with Stephanie Reid the main one impressing when it comes to scoreboard pressure downing 55 field goals for the season and sinking 42 free-throws while Courtney Woods is another handy option.
