THE 2021 Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) returns on December 4, meaning it is time for our season previews to begin. Today is the Bendigo Spirit, who finished eighth in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2020 Finish: <\/strong>8th<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recruits:<\/strong> Alana Goodchild (Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence), Anneli Maley, Carly Boag (Flames), Leilani Mitchell (Flyers), Maddie Garrick (Boomers), Meg McKay (Fire)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Squad list: The only way is up for the Bendigo Spirit, after a winless 2020 season resulted in a bottom placed finish on the ladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both the experience of Carly Boag<\/strong> and the young talent of Alana Goodchild<\/strong> coming in will help, but the Spirit’s biggest singing for this season is dual Olympian Leilani Mitchell<\/a>, who comes across from the Southside Flyers.
