O Nº 99 da “Manchete Esportiva” que circulou a partir de 12 de outubro de 1957, chamou de ”jovens, bonitas e, sobretudo, simpáticas”, estas três australianas “que vieram disputar o II Mundial Feminino de Basquete, no Rio de Janeiro. Segundo a revista, elas ficaram encantadíssimas com o Brasil e disseram terem vindo para aprender mais sobre a modalidade, pois eram amadoríssimas. Tanto que, cada uma, pagou pela aventura, gastando cerca de US$ 2 mil e 500 dólares. A chefe da delegação, Miss Sheridan, ficou muito contente ao saber que o uniforme das suas meninas tinha as mesmas cores do brasileiro – macacões verdes, com frisos amarelos. No entanto, avisou que a sua moçada só tinha três anos de estrada, formavam uma equipe muito nova, ainda, não podendo pensar em vitórias internacionais. Por isso, o treinador – e único homem da delegação –, o Mister Thomas, complementou: “São cinco titulares que podem brilhar. Ganhar é difícil”.
