The Opals Olympic campaign is going to plan after  beating Turkey by five points.

In a see sawing match that saw the lead change at every break, the womens basketball team were able to adapt to star centre Liz Cambage’s early foul trouble and got the job done against a tenacious Turkish side.

Former Olympian Rachel Sporn says the way First Nations guard and her teammates Leilani Mitchell (pictured) and her teammates stepped up is a very good sign for the team as they progress in the competition.
