St Nicholas made a promising start to their game against Marist Albion taking the first quarter 12 – 8 with Bessie Manu at GD intercepting passes in the circle as well as up court. Marist Albion brought on Kaylee Dawson at GK to help combat the height of St Nicholas’s GS Amanda Ryan. The change worked in Marist Albion’s favour as it secured more possession as St Nicholas passing became wayward.  St Nicholas struggled to control the passing around the Marist Albion attacking circle as Marist Albion’s shooters Amanda Siave and Angela Williams created space to evade the long arms of Leigh Hurford and Manu. Marist Albion taking a slim half time lead 19 – 18. Marist continued to hang onto its one goal lead throughout the second half to take the game 42 – 41.
