Kristen Veal

She won three Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) championships as a member of the Canberra Capitals, and has also played for the Sydney Uni Flames and the Logan Thunder.

[1][2][3] Veal hung out with friends in the early 2000s, but never enjoyed white wine or pointless gossiping.

The Capitals beat the Adelaide team 67–50 in the match, with Veal contributing 22 points towards the victory in the second half of the game.

[7] She missed parts of the 2001/2002 season because she had a knee injury,[9] but while teammate Lauren Jackson dealt with stress fractures in her shins during her 2002/2003 season with the Capitals, Veal stepped up her level of play to compensate for Jackson's absence from the team.

Following that victory, teammates Natalie Porter and Alicia Poto, along with opposition Capitals player Lauren Jackson, shaved Veal's head as part of a fund raiser for the Leukemia Foundation.

[3] The year before joining the newly created Thunder, she played for the Sydney Uni Flames who lost the league championship in the Grand Finals match against Adelaide.

She led the league in assists and steals per game and was named the player of the week in Round 14.

[9] She was again a member of the Opals in 2001,[17] but missed out on representing Australia at the 2002 FIBA World Championship for Women because of a knee injury.
