Pakenham’s Ebony Sans is set to bring up her 150th game in the Warriors’ triple header at Cardinia Life on Saturday.
Sans will be in action for the championship women at 8pm in a must-win game against Sherbrooke.
Coach Rob Dielemans praised her leadership ahead of the milestone.
“She’s a maturing player getting better all the time,” Dielemans said.
“She brings leadership and energy as well as her playing ability which are the things you really cherish.
“She brings the ability to score and to defend.
“She can defend three to five quite comfortably, plays off the bounce well and is generally in the right spots at the right times.
“People like to play with her which is a credit to her.
“She’s one of those people who will turn around and pick someone up, make sure they’re alright and that’s a classy person
“Hopefully we can play really well for Eb and honour what she brings to the club – she’s also a fantastic young coach and gives back so much to the club.”
The youth men kick off the triple header with a fixture against Western Port at 4pm, followed by the women against Albury Wodonga at 6pm.
