セントラル・パルスは、パーマストンノースでワイカトベイ・オブ・プレンティ・マジックに53-52で勝利し、ANZプレミアシップのタイトル防衛を開始しました。

ホームチームは後半早々に、9点のリードを許したものの、マジックに反撃され、手に汗握るフィナーレを迎えることになりました。

タクティクスに移籍した得点源のアリヤ・ダン(Aliyah Dunn)選手を欠いたディフェンディング・チャンピオンが苦戦するのではないかという懸念は、プレミアシップ10試合目でゴールを決めたアメリア・ウォームズリー(Amelia Walmsley)選手の活躍でいくぶん払拭されました。

39本のゴールのうち3本を除いてすべて決め、ゴールアタックのティアナ・メトゥアラウ(Tiana Metuarau)選手と見事な連携を見せたこの若手選手は、MVPに選ばれています。

パルスがマジックに16連勝したのは、後半になってからです。ゴールアタックにベイリー・メス(Bailey Mes)を起用し、元パルスのセンター、クレア・カーステン(Claire Kersten)の経験を生かして、後半はギアを入れ替え、終盤の緊迫した戦いの中で激しい競り合いを制しました。

粘り強いディフェンスと、マディ・ゴードン(Maddy Gordon)とホイットニー・スネス(Whitney Souness)の両名が素晴らしいボール運びで攻撃を仕掛け、パルスを勝利に導きました。

新シーズンのマジックの第一線は、シュートサークルにメスとアメリアラン・エケナシオ(Ameliaranne Ekenasio)、アタックにシモン・ウィルボア(Simmon Wilbore)とカーステンという定評あるフロントエンドで、特にサプライズはありませんでした。

新人のシャーロット・エリー(Charlotte Elley)がウイングディフェンスの大役を務め、経験豊富なディフェンダーのジョージア・タカランギ(Georgia Takarangi)とエレナ・ミカエレ(Erena Mikaere)がサークルに。

スネスは早くから鋭い洞察力を発揮し、ロングボールを恐れることなくウォームズリーに送ります。新人シューターはミカエレにボールを要求する自信を見せ、第1クォーターの10回すべてのトライを成功させ、15-12とパルスのリードでハーフタイムを迎えました。

コートの反対側では、ジョージア・タカランギがディフェンスに励み、前半で6回のディフレクトを見せるなど空中戦のスキルを見せるものの、マジックは25-30で前半を折り返します。

9点差で迎えた第3クォーター、パルスの勢いは止まらず、勝利を確信したかに見えましたが、マジックは先手を打って対応しミスを誘い、42-38までリードを広げて最終クォーターに突入しました。
