PERTH, Australia (Interstat) — The Warwick Sentinels aim to extend their commanding lead in the NBL1 West women’s standings when they host the struggling Kalamunda Eastern Suns on Friday, June 19, 2026, at Warwick Stadium.

Warwick (10-5) enters the matchup riding a wave of momentum, having won four of its last five contests. The Sentinels sit comfortably in the upper tier of the conference, while Kalamunda (4-10) continues to battle near the bottom of the table, having lost seven of its last eight games.

The visiting Eastern Suns will rely heavily on forward Trista Hull, who has been a formidable presence despite the team’s struggles. Over her last five outings, Hull has averaged a double-double, highlighted by a dominant 25-point, 18-rebound performance against Goldfields on May 23. In Kalamunda’s most recent game, a 75-82 loss at Perth Redbacks on June 12, Hull logged 33 minutes and posted 14 points, 14 rebounds, and six blocks.

Warwick counters with guard Chloe Forster, who has been equally impactful. Forster has averaged 16.8 points per game over her last four appearances, including a 21-point effort in a 78-67 victory at Goldfields on June 13. She also recorded a near triple-double against Mandurah on May 29, finishing with 14 points, eight rebounds, and 12 assists.

The teams met once earlier this season, and the result was lopsided. Warwick cruised to a 92-68 home victory over Kalamunda on April 2, suggesting the Sentinels hold a clear psychological edge.

Kalamunda’s offense has been inconsistent, averaging just 73 points per game over its last five contests. The team’s depth will be tested against a Warwick squad that averages 85 points per game and features multiple scoring threats, including forward Mackenzie Clinch Hoycard, who contributed 20 points and seven rebounds in the win over Goldfields.

Warwick’s balanced attack and home-court advantage make them clear favorites, but Kalamunda’s Hull has proven capable of single-handedly keeping her team competitive. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time.
