playoff positions . The Pirates might have too many scoring options in this one and will win at home .
IPSWICH FORCE VS GLADSTONE PORT CITY POWER
Ipswich are coming off a huge win over the Capitals on the road . The Force scored a season-high 109 points , behind a monster 23 points and 21 rebounds from Markel Walker . The Capitals could not keep Walker off the glass and if she is able to dominate this aspect of the match against the Power , they will again be difficult to beat . Five other Force players were able to reach double-digits , highlighting the depth in their roster . Gladstone will be playing the second game of their weekend and should be up and about after a big win over Toowoomba . The Markel Walker-Tabatha Richardson-Smith matchup will be great viewing and whoever has the upper hand may lead their team to the W . Toss of a coin in this one .
SOUTH WEST METRO PIRATES VS BRISBANE CAPITALS Both teams will be playing their second game of the weekend and
ROUND ELEVEN PREVIEWS
this will be another crucial matchup to decide who sneaks into the playoffs . These teams match up extremely similar as they average 73 points per game apiece , with the Capitals being the slightly better defensive team . With the Capitals having the tougher match the previous night and being amid a bad 6-game patch in which they are 1-5 , the Pirates may just have the better form to get the job done in front of their home crowd .
LOGAN THUNDER VS GLADSTONE PORT CITY POWER
Gladstone will be playing their third game of a triple header weekend and unfortunately for them they have their toughest assignment last . Logan will be coming off an easy win on the Gold Coast on Friday night and should be well rested by the time Sunday rolls around . Whilst Gladstone should convincingly dismantle Toowoomba on Friday night , backing up after a tough match against Ipswich will be extremely difficult . The Power have only 5 players who have played more than 6 games or more for the season , which asks big questions
about their depth and the number of minutes their starters will play over the first two games of the weekend . Being the much fresher and the more talented team , Logan should win comfortably .
BRISBANE SPARTANS VS TOWNSVILLE FLAMES The Spartans are again bolstering an undefeated record and the top position on the QBL ladder . Coming off a 42-point thumping of USC Rip in Round 10 . Their offense was again rolling scoring a league season-high 120 points , with six scorers reaching double-digits and Ashleigh Karaitiana again leading the way with 26 points a Round 10 high 9 assists . This will be Townsville ’ s second match of the weekend after playing the Capitals Saturday night . The Flames could also be coming into this match with a 6-game win streak of their own , resulting in this being clearly the women ’ s match of the round , although Townsville does currently own a 1-3 road record which does not look great coming up against the league ’ s best team on their home court . The Spartans will be fresh and will do enough to keep their undefeated start alive .
