The squad will face the Eltham Wildcats and the Kilsyth Cobras in Victoria without NBL1 lead scorer Keely Froling.

The Tornadoes captain is heading to Austria to represent Australia in the 3x3 Olympic qualifier tournament.

Froling's latest conquest came in the form of a 50-point drilling of the Diamond Valley Eagles at Elphin last round.

"Keely has always said the best part of her game is defence and rebounding, but for her to move to where she wants to be in her career, she needs to be a creative and versatile scorer," Tornadoes coach Sarah Veale said.

"She's been working on that and it's really paying off - she's almost impossible to guard now.

"She can score off the bounce, she can score contested in the paint, she can score from the three."

Veale was confident her team can mitigate such a substantial loss.

"All of us need to chip in, because we become too easy if we've only got one person the other team needs to try and shut down," she said.

The Tornadoes welcome back seasoned Canberra Capital Kelsey Griffin, as well as Teyla Evans from a leg injury.

After dropping a heartbreaker at home to the Wildcats earlier in May, Veale was hopeful for a bit of revenge on their home court.

The Torns also face a familiar foe in their match against the Cobras, with the team signing former Tornado great and reigning NBL1 finals MVP Lauren Nicholson to a four-game contract earlier this week.
