Fever stars Fowler-Nembhard, Teague-Neeld, lead Super Netball’s Team of the Week
West Coast Fever cemented their place as Super Netball title favourites with an 11th-straight win, and their dominance was rewarded with several stars named in the Team of the Week. Check out the team here, and pick your own, inside.
West Coast Fever players have dominated the Code Sports’ Super Netball team of the week for round 13 after sealing the club’s maiden minor premiership.
The Fever underlined their status as the team to beat this season after notching a league-record 11th successive win, with Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard, Alice Teague-Neeld and Sunday Aryang winning places among the competition’s best with their performances.
The metronomic Fowler-Nembhard netted 63 goals in her team’s 73-56 win against the Giants, winning her personal battle with Giants goalkeeper Casey Kopua.
Kopua earnt the match nomination as goalkeeper of the game, although this was due as much to the Fever rotating troops throughout the position - with the lingering illness of 100-gamer Kadie-Ann Dehaney meaning she, Fran Williams and debutant Caitlyn Brown all wore the GK bib for stints.
Teague-Neeld underlined why she’s pushing for a Diamonds spot with another outstanding contribution at wing attack, while defender Aryang earnt the goal defence spot after nabbing a massive seven gains to starve the Giants goalers of ball in the circle.
Latanya Wilson continued her stellar efforts this season, again showing her versatility by shutting down the Mavericks’ Shimona Jok at goalkeeper.
Liz Watson’s efforts in the clash against the Swifts helped her side stay in the hunt for a finals berth, while Amy Sligar was strong in a beaten Giants side at wing defence.
Kiera Austin was arguably the difference for the Vixens in their tight win against the plucky Queensland Firebirds, missing just one shot in the back half of the game while doing plenty of work off the ball to steer her side home.
