Q4 Fever 64 | Swifts 61
Fever came into their own in the final quarter, fighting for their first win of the pre-season.
Fran Williams was a final quarter force in defence against her international teammate Helen Housby.
For the first time since the first quarter, fever was able to tie the score with six minutes to go, and it was a fight in the super shot period.
