The Melbourne Mavericks stunning upset over title challengers New South Wales Swifts has propelled three players into Code Sports’ team of the week.

Led by a standout midcourt performance from centre Molly Jovic, the Mavericks launched into wild post-match celebratory scenes on court after downing the Swifts 68-64.

Up against Swifts’ star Paige Hadley, Jovic had 32 goal assists and 44 feeds to deliver the ball beautifully to Mavericks’ goal shooter Shimona Jok in a player of the match effort.

While there were some strong performances from the league’s other leading goal shooters, including Fever’s Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard and Thunderbirds’ Romelda Aiken-George, Jok’s volume and accuracy with 61 goals from 63 attempts got her the nod at GS this week.

Mavericks’ captain Amy Parmenter also slots into the team of the week at wing defence for her game against the Swifts, in which she had four deflections and one intercept, although Giants’ Amy Sligar was another strong candidate here.

Alice Teague-Neeld, with 26 goal assists and 40 feeds, delivered a polished performance at wing attack for the Fever, who sit top of the ladder after their win over the Sunshine Coast Lightning.

Young gun Georgie Horjus starred in the Adelaide Thunderbirds’ win over Melbourne Vixens, providing plenty of drive and spark at goal attack.

Jamaican star Latanya Wilson was equally important in the win for the T-Birds, finishing with six deflections, five gains and one intercept to get the spot at goal defence as the defending champions pushed back into the top four.

There could have been a few candidates for GK, but we’re going to give it to a veteran who has continued to surprise everyone since her shock call-up from retirement.

At age 40, Casey Kopua played another key role in the Giants’ win over the Firebirds, finishing with three deflections, helping the team to its third win from in its past four games since she joined the team.
