WEST Coast Fever led from start to finish in a display which sees them cement second place on the Suncorp Super Netball ladder after nine rounds.

Goal shooter Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard led the charge for Fever with 71 goals while Jordan Cransberg was influential in the centre with 112 Nissan net points including two gains and an intercept.

The game started with the much anticipated shootout between Fowler-Nembhard and the Swifts Grace Nweke, before Fever were able to break the goal-for-goal play with the first gain.

From there, Fever were able to control the quarter.

After leading by a goal at the start of power five, Fever capitalised on missed supershots from the hosts and a team defensive effort from Sunday Aryang of Midland and Kadie-Ann Dehaney.

The defensive duo were on fire, combing for three gains, three deflections and two rebounds for the quarter, which Fever won 22-16.

The Swifts scored the first goals of the second quarter before the goal-for-goal battle resumed.

By the time of power five, Fever who had secured goals from turnover, held a seven-goal lead.

Despite two supershots from Housby, Fever capitalised on missed supershots to extend their lead to seven at the main break with the score 39-32.

The hosts again started the next quarter better than Fever, scoring the first three goals.

As the quarter ebbed and flowed, Alice Teague-Neeld remained constant for Fever.

Her eight feeds, seven goal assists and composure ensured Fever turned the scoreboard over.

Fever held a four-goal lead at the start of power five and maintained it, while Olivia Wilkinson (two) and Housby (three) had a supershot battle.

At the end of the third quarter the score was 59-55.

Dehaney pulled in a massive gain in the opening stages of the final quarter as Fever extended their lead to six with the first two goals on the quarter.

Fever were able to control the tempo of the contest and won ball which they converted into goals to lead by eight goals at the start of power five.

A lead they extended to 10 goals earlier in the final five minutes of the match and not even two supershots from Housby could reign the visitors’ lead.
