After a mix up in positions the girls found some flow and confidence down court.
The girls clawed back the deficit over the game winning the last 3 quarters and continued attacking the game in the last quarter, chasing loose balls and rebounds.
In attack, the girls held their nerve working the ball to circle edge to deliver safe ball.
It was a tough game and we are super proud how the girls maintained composure to finish off the game and secure the win.
