PORTLAND has booked its ticket to the Country Basketball League women’s grand final with a dominant semi-final win in front of their home crowd over Horsham, coming away with an 87-63 victory at Portland Basketball Stadium.

The Coasters had their noses in front for most of the contest, however it wasn’t until the third quarter that they were able to open up a sizeable advantage, winning that 10-minute period 29-18 to open up a 20-point lead and more or less put the game to rest.
