Romelda Aiken-George equalled Cath Cox’s all-time games record and drained three Super Shots for the night.
Q1: Fever 13 | Tbirds 16
Both sides hit the court with electric energy, with the Friday Night Netty disco setting the tone.
In her record equalling game, Aiken-George started quickly under the post and wasn’t fazed by Shamera Stirling-Humphrey in her 100th match.
Zoe Cransberg was a force through midcourt, going head-to-head with Latanya Wilson and finishing the quarter with 10 feeds and an intercept.
Aiken-George nailed her first Super Shot of the year to close the term.
Q2: Fever 20 | Tbirds 30
The Thunderbirds broke through in the second quarter, widening the margin with cleaner ball movement and more accurate finishing.
Fever’s defensive pressure remained strong, with Kadie-Ann Dehaney posting two gains and Fran Williams adding a deflection.
Q3: Fever 33 | Tbirds 48
Alice Teague-Neeld returned to court for the first time in three matches and looked right at home.
Ruth Aryang collected a pickup in the Thunderbirds’ goal circle and worked tirelessly to limit their influence.
Q4: Fever 45 | Tbirds 65
Aiken-George landed her third Super Shot of the night, an impressive finish.
Aryang pulled in a rebound, but Fever’s hard-fought efforts weren’t enough to close the gap.
