For Joondalup City, guard Asianae Johnson has been the offensive catalyst. Johnson scored 25 points and collected six rebounds and three assists in a 94-79 loss at Warwick on April 25. The previous game, she matched that scoring output with 25 points and seven rebounds in a 77-72 victory over East Perth on April 17.
