A cold, early start to the third CNL match for WNC C's. We started slowly, with a little hesitation, unsure of the type of game the opposition would play, given this is their re-debut season back into the league.
Once we settled, however, and noted the pace was slow, steady and balls quite loopy we were able to pick off the interceptions and end the first quarter up. Q1 13-9 (13-9)
The focus in the 2nd was to up our intensity and put more pressure over their ball. Using the wall effectively on their centres saw forced errors from the other team and our shooters just slotted away the goals. Q2 25-16 (12-7)
Q3 saw some changes on court, due to a little congestion in the centre third. We also changed up our shooting circle. We were however not able to avoid the dreaded third quarter slump and our opposition had a little bit of a resurgence. Fortunately we were able to maintain some pace keep the turnovers coming. Q3 34-22 (9-6)
The final push saw the team pull out all the shots/interceptions and end the game on a storming quarter. Q4 44-25 (10-3)
First CNL W on the board for the WNC C's - let the domination begin!
