Coach Alisha Pablo was happy that her team came back from a dismal three weeks with the win.

“We kind of hit a bit of a lull, but we’ve changed things up again and the girls seem to be adapting well to change ups on the court,” she said.

She also added that her young team still has plenty of grit about them and are hungry to continue the win.

“We aren’t too sure of where we are on the ladder as our game was right at the top of the week. I have faith that this win will sit the girls nicely in the ladder,” Pablo added
