Two more All-Star Five Selections

Although Holly Winterburn had a quiet scoring night, she continued to show the league her all-rounded game with 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. This is also Winterburn’s second All-Star Five selection in a row. 

The Riders will now shift their focus to the regular-season and are travelling down to Oakland Wolves on December 12th.
