Eleni Valos showed the way with a 16-point, 13-rebound double-double and your Dragons Division 1 Women celebrated Lauren Moran's 200th Big V game in style with a 68-56 win against visiting Gippsland United at Boroondara Sports Complex on Friday night.

Valos added six steals and had plenty of support as the Dragons rallied from 10 points down at the half to outscore its guest 40-18 the rest of the way.

Anna Burrows closed with an impressive stat line (16 points, six rebounds, six assists, three steals, two blocks) and Moran (pictured below with Dragons official Ben Wardlaw before Friday night's game) had 12 points and five boards for Camberwell, which improved to 6-9 and replaced Gippsland (6-9) in fifth place with three rounds left in the regular season.

Next up for the Dragons is a road date with second-placed Altona (13-2) on Sunday.
