The 72-point in was also the largest every victory in this stage of the qualifiers.

Spreading the love
The Boomers had equal contributors across the entire first game, with six players finishing in double figures. Coach Adam Caporn has been preaching that he will get through his rotation and give everyone a chance to compete.
