Season Review
The UBL is done for another year, and while both teams may have fallen short, it was still another great season of basketball!
Both the men's and women's teams made it to the semi-finals before falling one step short of making the final dance.
After knocking off the top and undefeated team of the season in Latrobe University, the Winged Victory were the competition's dark horse. Unfortunately, they fell to the University of the Sunshine Coast, who boasted WNBL player Erin Bollman, and proved just too strong.
While the men had dropped just one game during the season and were clear favourites, they suffered a heartbreaking loss. In an overtime thriller at the University of Tasmania, at the hands of an incredible performance from Jack Stanwix.
All we can say is, look out, UBL 2026!
