LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Former Trojan Nikki Metcalfe dropped 17 points in 35 points in her last outing as she led a group of Little Rock players among the professional ranks recently.
Metcalfe (6-2/F, graduated 2023, plays pro in Australia) could not help Melbourne Tigers (8-9) in their last game. Despite her very good performance the 11th-placed Melbourne Tigers lost 75-88 on the road to the much higher-ranked (#4) Frankston Blues in the South group. Metcalfe was the second-best scorer with 17 points in 35 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only her first season in pro basketball.
