Elsewhere, Pyrobel Killester showcased an improved offense with an 88-78 win over Portlaoise Panthers.
“We wanted to get off to a hot start,” said head coach Karl Kilbride.
“But Portlaoise brought in Claire Melia who had one of the best games I’ve ever seen from a 16-year-old. She did everything she wanted to do inside.”
Indeed, the young Ireland international was making her Premier League debut and finished with a fantastic 21 points.
