United duo command the glass in Australian victory

Written by Melbourne United Media

Melbourne United’s front-court pair have once again helped guide the Australian Boomers to another victory, this time over Kazakhstan on Sunday afternoon.

Despite only playing 15 minutes each, Mason Peatling and Isaac Humphries dominated on the boards, combining for 11 rebounds, eight of which came on the offensive end.

Looking to anchor the Boomers defensively, the duo also combined for three steals and three blocks.

It was a quieter outing on the scoring end for the pair, with Humphries tallying six points while Peatling failed to find the bottom of the net.

This brings a close to the Boomers FIBA World Cup Qualifiers, with Australia finishing atop Group F with an 11-1 record. The only loss came as a result of the team's decision not to travel to Iran on the advice of the Australian government.

Peatling will now prepare for his NBL1 season with the Knox Raiders, while Humphries looks to continue work with his trainers across the offseason.
