CANBERRA, AUS – The back-to-back Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) Fan MVP issued an astonishing performance to provide the Bendigo Spirit their third loss and round out the regular season, 83-74.

Jade Melbourne produced 40 points on 62.5% shooting from beyond the arc, her most of the season. Seemingly glued to the glass, she also grabbed 10 rebounds and was on triple-double watch throughout the contest with seven dishes, adding three steals and one block.

Despite the victory, Melbourne and the UC Capitals saw an unfortunate ending to their 2024-25 playoff hopes earlier in the season after suffering a disappointing defeat to the Sydney Flames.

This season's All-WNBL Second Team player capped off overseas action in Canberra mounting a total of 329 points in just 21-games. She averaged a team-leading 15.7 points per game, 6.8 assists per game, and 2.0 steals per game–also securing a third-place overall finish in rebounds per game with 5.8.
