#SSN2025 #VIXvLIG
Full time: LIG 62-50
A brilliant win for Lightning. No Cara Koenen, no worries, as Reilley Batcheldor filled in beautifully. It was an all round team effort. POTM Tara Hinchliffe combined so well with Courtney Bruce to cause all sorts of problems for Vixens.
#SSN2025 #VIXvLIG
Once again, 10 the difference as we head into the last 5 minutes. No doubt, Vixens will be looking to the super shot, but at this stage, Lightning is holding firm. LIG 56-46

#SSN2025 #VIXvLIG
1/4 time: LIG 14-11
