Updated October 14, 2012 09:16:39

Bendigo won its second road game in as many nights with a comfortable 70-58 win over the Rangers in Dandenong on Saturday night.

The Spirit were backing up from their narrow 70-69 win over the Boomers in Bulleen on Friday.

Kristi Harrower scored a game-high 24 points, Gabrielle Richards had 19 and 11 boards and Chelsea Aubry posted 17 in the win.

Rangers star Kathleen MacLeod led her team with 18 points.

Meanwhile, the Lightning cruised to an 86-60 win over Sydney University in Adelaide.

Opals stalwart Suzy Batkovic had a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double while Laura Hodges added 16 points and seven rebounds.

The Lightning exploded out to a 24-13 lead by the first break and led by 17 at half-time before coasting home.

The Flames on the other hand had a tough shooting night, making just 24-of-64 from the floor and making 19 turnovers.

And the Thunder held off a fast-finishing Canberra Capitals outfit in their 68-60 victory in Logan.

The home side built a nine-point lead in the opening quarter and they managed to hold on despite being outgunned 16-10 in the final period to ensure a nervous finish.

Emma Langford (19) and Natalie Taylor (18) led the way for Logan, counteracting the efforts of leading Capitals scorer Jessica Bibby (17) and her team-mates Michelle Cosier and Brigette Ardossi (14 apiece).
