Newly-crowned league MVP Kia Nurse stood up when it mattered and led the Canberra Capitals to within one win of the WNBL grand final series on Sunday. The Melbourne Boomers held their biggest lead of the game at 51-43 in the third quarter before Nurse drained three unanswered three-pointers. Nurse was named MVP on Friday and backed up her gong with a stellar performance to win the three-game series opener 84-70 in Canberra. Nurse finished with 25 points, while French import Olivia Epoupa was sensational with 19 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in front of 2492 raucous fans at the AIS Arena. The teams hadn't played in two weeks due to an international break but both sides looked polished from the tip-off in what proved a cracking start to the finals. Two of the three games between Canberra and Melbourne this season were decided by just one basket - with the Capitals winning both and earning home-court advantage for this series. It proved another tight affair for [https://travelmic.hpage.com/states-of-india-and-their-capitals-with-political-map.html travelmic.hpage.com] three quarters as Boomers' star American Lindsay Allen dominated the first half on her starting return from a knee injury. Allen finished with 17 points and five assists, while Madeleine Garrick was Melbourne's next best with 16 points and Sophie Cunningham had 14 points. The Capitals are chasing back-to-back championships after ending a nine-year title drought last season. Southside and Adelaide will contest the other semi-final series, with game one on Tuesday.

The Washington Capitals snapped a two-game losing streak by holding off a late charge by the host Carolina Hurricanes to win 4-3 on Friday night. Richard Panik, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Lars Eller and Jakub Vrana scored for the Capitals, [https://travelmic.hpage.com/states-of-india-and-their-capitals-with-political-map.html https://travelmic.hpage.com/states-of-india-and-their-capitals-with-political-map.html] who were in danger of relinquishing a three-goal third-period lead. Kuznetsov and Eller also had assists. The Capitals were coming off consecutive losses in regulation for the first time this season and they didn't allow the mini-slide to continue. The first of those losses was seven nights earlier to the Hurricanes in the same building. Carolina had won four consecutive meetings with the Capitals dating to the final two games of last spring's first-round playoff series. Jordan Staal, Teuvo Teravainen and Ryan Dzingel scored third-period goals for the Hurricanes. Capitals goalie Ilya Samsonov, who was facing Carolina for the first time, made 38 saves. The Hurricanes scored 39 seconds into the third period on Staal's conversion off Brett Pesce's shot. The Capitals responded 50 seconds later on Eller's power-play goal. He banged in the puck after Alex Ovechin's blast bounced off the boards, pretty much a clear shot into the net for Eller. The Capitals made it 4-1 less than five minutes into the third period when Vrana scored when the Capitals were too quick with the puck in the offensive zone. Teravainen made it interesting when he posted his first goal in 17 games with 13:25 remaining, coming on a power play. Then Dzingel's power-play goal came with 7:25 left. Carolina goalie Petr Mrazek stopped 25 shots. Panik opened the scoring in the second period with a strong rush down the ice, and when Mrazek couldn't corral the puck, it ended up in the net. The Capitals made it 2-0 after Samsonov stopped Dougie Hamilton's short-handed breakaway. Washington set up at the other end and converted when Kuznetsov notched his 16th goal of the season. That put a damper on the third consecutive sellout crowd at PNC Arena. The Hurricanes had snapped a three-game losing streak by winning in the first two-games of the seven-game homestand. The Hurricanes outshot the Capitals 18-7 in a scoreless first period. --Field Level Media
