Vui 1/2Sulu Fitzpatrick proving the difference so far.
Steel is right in this game. Mystics lead 28-27 and the home crowd is roaring the Steel on.
Never underestimate a Steel team under pressure as Pulse discovered!! Going to be an interesting second half.
1/2 time: Mystics 30-29
Fisher 19/20
Tui 3/4Nweke 28/33
Vui 2/5Steel won that 2nd Q 17-13 and are looking good. Interesting that the shooting stats of both sides are so similar… Steel 29/37 and Mystics 30/38.
Steel in front! But now a loose pass and who’s there to collect. Fitzpatrick of course.
3/4 time: Steel 48-46
Fisher 32/34
Heffernan 7/14Nweke 41/49
Vui 5/8A late surge from Mystics in the 3rd Q and Steel goes into the last Q up by just 2. Anyone’s game.
52-52 here with 10 minutes left. Who wins from here???
Steel holding on well here, up 62-59 with under 2 mins left. Can Mystics pull something out to come back?
Wahoo well done Steel. That one’s for Shannon!! :yahoo: :yahoo:
STEEL WINS! They’ve upset the defending champs 64-59!
Well done Steel! I knew you had it in you. Congrats Saunders on 150 games!
Really loving these Heffernen sisters. Things just seem to flow with these girls.
Bloxham must be/is an amazing coach.
@NZChampion – Georgia Heffernen has come back from that ACL reconstruction with a vastly improved shooting percentage. I’d never really paid much attention to her prior to when the injury happened but recall reading many many comments questioning why she was rated as a shooter. But she’s been very very solid this season.
Saviour is great as a shooter, last week she was off but it was her first game post covid. This Steel team has a very competent shooting end for 2022.As I commented earlier I had the feeling that without Falkner in and without height in the defence end (Stythe) that Steel would take it out. Should have trusted instinct and changed my tipping 🙂
Well done Steel, you deserved the W and congrats to Shannon on her 150.
