Dandy thrilled at Cambage coup

By JARROD POTTER

FORMER Dandenong junior Liz Cambage will once again don the Green and Yellow jersey.
The Dandenong Rangers have made the signing coup of the upcoming Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) season by signing former junior Liz Cambage, 22, for 2014/15.
Returning to where her basketball journey started off, as a Dandenong junior, Cambage’s professional career has taken her to Canberra, USA and China, but with her family on the Mornington Peninsula and the upcoming FIBA World Championships taking her focus, Cambage preferred to spend 2014 back in Australia.
Despite numerous offers from Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) teams, Cambage wanted to base herself locally this year to prepare for international duties.
It will be the first time Cambage has played for Dandenong since her rookie season in 2007/08 before switching to Bulleen, now known as the Melbourne Boomers.
The Rangers will also feature the return of All Star 5 point guard Kathleen Macleod and WNBA American import Monica Wright to fill the gap left by the off-season departure of Australian Opal and WNBA player Jenna O’Hea.
