In the women's clash, Nunawading won every quarter in a comfortable 73-53 win.
Meanwhile Canberra Capitals youngster Stephanie Talbot and Canberra product Alex Bunton have been named in Australia's World University Games squad for the tournament at South Korea in June.
Talbot is on a tour of Europe with the Australian Opals and won the WNBL rookie of the year award in 2013.
"We have a lot of youth but we have to create depth in the long term for the Opals, so it [University Games] is a great opportunity for our younger players to get some international experience," Opals coach Brendan Joyce said.
