Paralympian Brett Stibners led the Wollongong Roller Hawks to season-ending victories over Victoria last weekend at the Snakepit.
Stibners tallied 28 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds in Wollongong's 76-65 win last Saturday and backed up with 22 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in Sunday's 79-63 triumph.
The Roller Hawks finished third on the ladder with a 10-5 record and will take on Victoria again in a sudden-death semi-final on September 19 in Perth.
Brisbane claimed second and meet minor premiers Perth in the major semi-final.
Stibners had plenty of support in both wins. Luke Pople racked up 12 points, five assists and five rebounds; Michael Auprince finished with 14 points and five rebounds, while Nick Taylor and Adam Deans combined for 16 points.
Auprince was impressive with 18 points and seven rebounds in Sunday's win; Deans chalked up eight points and 14 rebounds, while Taylor and Pople scored a collective 28 points.
Former Wollongong players Tristan Knowles and Shawn Russell were the standouts for Victoria.
Knowles had 26 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds last Saturday, while Russell worked hard for 15 points and 13 rebounds. Knowles was a one-man show last Sunday with 36 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.
