Former Perth Lynx captain Sami Whitcomb named WNBL MVP in her first season for Bendigo Spirit

Former Perth Lynx captain Sami Whitcomb has written herself into WNBL folklore by winning the Suzi Batkovic Medal for the league’s Most Valuable Player.

Whitcomb was a clear winner in her first season playing for Bendigo Spirit. She polled 21 votes to finish seven votes clear of Townsville’s Courtney Woods.

The two-time WNBA champion and 2024 Olympian had a brilliant season. She led the league in scoring with an average of 21 points per game, also led the league for three-pointers and was ranked third for assists after averaging five per match. But she was also superb at the other end of the court, ranking equal third for steals.

Whitcomb arrived in Perth to play for Rockingham Flames in 2013, rose to play for the Lynx and has become one of Australia’s biggest stars.

Whitcomb and Woods were joined by Perth Lynx pair Ally Wilson and Laeticia Amihere, plus Southside’s Naz Hilmon in the All-WNBL First Team.

Lynx stars Anneli Maley and Miela Sowah were picked in the Second team with Canberra’s ***** Melbourne and Bendigo pair Veronica Burton and Kelsey Griffin.

Townsville cleaned up nearly all of the other awards. Shannon Seebohm was named Coach of the Year, Lauren Cox won the Robyn Maher Best Defensive Player, Abbey Ellis took home the Betty Watson Breakout Player and Woods received the Community Award.

Bendigo Spirit’s Abbey Wehrung won the Sixth Woman of the Year.

Lynx coach Ryan Petrik finished third in Coach of the Year voting while Amihere and Wilson placed fourth and fifth in the MVP award.

The Lynx finished the season in second place on the ladder after a stunning overtime win over Townsville on Sunday. They will now play against the Fire in a best-of-three semifinal series with the opening match to be at the Bendat Basketball Centre on Saturday night.
