Atkinson added 10 points, Mia Demarte pulled down seven boards to go with seven points, and point guard Jessica Del Brocco had six points, six assists and five rebounds for the Dragons, who had to fend off a late challenge by their host.

Camberwell led by three points at the half and stretched its advantage to 10 at three quarter-time before the Giants made some noise late.

Jesse Macleod (11 points, seven rebounds, four assists) and Matthew Marcun (11 points, two steals) led the way for Camberwell, but the Dragons fell behind by 17 points in the first quarter and never threatened again.

– Our Division 1 Women closed their season with a 57-50 road win against playoff-bound Western Port. Eleni Valos finished with a 17-point, 11-rebound double-double and Meg Stagoll added eight points, 12 boards and three assists for the Dragons, who finished their season in sixth place with a 9-9 win-loss record.

DRAGONS NOTEBOOK
Our Champ Men (8-10) enter this week’s road-home double (against Sunbury and Keysborough) in eighth place and with four games left to play in their regular season. Keysborough (16-2), Hume City (15-3), McKinnon (13-5), RMIT (10-8) and Pakenham (10-9) make up the top five … Camberwell’s Sean Conway leads the Champ Men division in scoring (31.2ppg) and rebounding (12.5rpg) … Dragons guard Trent Andre is second in assists (8.6apg).

……………………………………………………………………………………

The road beckons for our Division 1 Women, who have a date with Mildura at the Hothouse on Saturday night. The Dragons improved to 8-8 with a 64-37 win against Collingwood at BSC and have the postseason in their sights. They’ll wrap up their regular season commitments with a road game against Western Port on July 26.

……………………………………………………………………………………

Our Youth League Men (11-10) host league-leading Ringwood in their regular season finale at Balwyn High School on Sunday and can then shift their focus to the YLM1 finals. The Dragons are in sixth place, a game behind Ballarat and Bulleen. Ringwood (18-3) leads the competition from McKinnon (16-5) and Pakenham (16-5).

……………………………………………………………………………………

Our Youth League Women (14-7) close their regular season on the road against Collingwood on Saturday night. The Dragons are in fifth place and headed for the playoffs – win or lose – but have plenty to play for, with a top-three-finish still within reach. Third-placed Geelong United (14-6) opens the final weekend of its regular season at home against Hume City before travelling to Albury Wodonga, while fourth-placed Coburg (14-6) closes with back-to-back home dates against Eltham and Hume City … Dragons forward Zoe Johnson is well placed to claim the YLW1 rebounding crown. She leads in the league in that category with 13.3rpg.
