An utterly dominant performance from the Mainland Tactix saw them record their highest ANZ Premiership score against the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic in round 10 of the competition.
The 68-51 win was also the Tactix' biggest winning margin in their 14-year history, largely thanks to their commanding 22-11 first quarter in Nelson on Monday evening.
It was always going to be a tough battle for the Magic, who were without Temalisi Fakahokotau and Grace Kara, two players who have been influential for their team this season.
The impact of these players was sorely missed early when the Magic struggled to feed their shooters and the Tactix consistently found Ellie Bird under the goal, the 1.96m shooter showing no signs of the head knock that kept her out of the competition last week.
Everything was going right for the Tactix, as they stretched their lead to 13 at halftime, Karin Burger proving to Silver Ferns selectors why she should be their first choice goal defence, disrupting the Magic attack and getting her hands to plenty of ball on defence.
