Portland Fire forward Nyadiew Puoch is set to play her 100th WNBL game Saturday when the UC Capitals visit the Bendigo Spirit.

The 22-year-old is averaging 15.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists for Canberra after her first WNBA season, according to the Australian league’s Friday report. She started 28 games for Portland following her selection in the expansion draft.

Puoch said Portland asked her to make life difficult for the league’s best players defensively, an assignment that helped build her confidence. She is now playing alongside her sister Manuela in Canberra.

Her next goals include preparing for another WNBA season and earning an opportunity with Australia’s national team.
