The Situation
West Coast Fever and the Melbourne Vixens meet at RAC Arena for a Tuesday night top-of-the-table blockbuster.
Locked on 7 wins and 2 losses each, the teams are only separated by percentage, with this Round 10 clash set to define who moves a game clear on top of the ladder.
The Fever are coming from a win over the Lightning on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday, while the Vixens will enter the contest following a 3-goal overtime victory against the Giants in Sydney.
Moments to Watch
The ability to run out this contest in the fourth quarter is likely to determine the winner of this match-up, with both teams coming off three-day breaks during a condensed SSN season.
While it is a Fever home game, they’ve had to travel further than their interstate opponents to RAC Arena after playing on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday.
However, the Vixens were forced into overtime against the Giants in Sydney, balancing the equation in what will be a test of stamina for both sides.
