Fever run red hot to inflict Super pain on Vixens
West Coast Fever have underlined their Super Netball title credentials and put a large dent in the Melbourne Vixens' finals campaign with a commanding 71-60 victory in the last round. Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard delivered an almost flawless showing as the minor premiers continued to prove the team to beat, with the superstar shooter finishing with 61 goals from 63 attempts. In front of a Super Netball record crowd of 12,813 at Perth's RAC Arena, the 35-year-old's only two misses came from the two-point super shot range. The loss meant the Vixens sank to fourth and handed hosting rights for the minor semi-final to two-time reigning champion Adelaide Thunderbirds in a grand final rematch next Sunday. On the back of 12 straight wins, the Fever will host the second-placed NSW Swifts in the major semi-final, also on Sunday. There was little between the teams at the halfway mark, with the Perth side leading 34-30. While Fowler-Nembhard was on target with 30 goals from 31 attempts, the Fever's defence - led by goal defence Sunday Aryang and keeper Kadie-Ann Dehaney - piled the pressure on the visitors. Vixens coach Simone McKinnis shuffled her goal circle in the second quarter, with Lily Graham coming on for Sophie Garbin as she searched for ways to penetrate West Coast's steely armour. Happy SUNDAY 😮💨Watch every game live on Kayo Sports, Foxtel and Binge. Suncorp Super Netball (@SuperNetball) July 13, 2025 Diamonds star Aryang, who claimed her second straight player of the match gong, was delighted her team were able to win all four quarters. She had six gains and four intercepts as she kept tight leash on Vixens star goal attack Kiera Austin. "I'm very happy. When we got to this game we had a big focus on finishing the season off well and we accomplished what we set out to do," Aryang told Fox Sports. "It's always hard work coming up against Kiera and it's one of those ones where you have to grind her and play that one on one against her and hope you get the best of it." The Fever took control of the match in the third quarter and pushed the lead out out to 52-43, with Jamaican great Fowler-Nembhard again bagging 16 from 16. They forced the Vixens into 20 general play turnovers as they asserted their dominance through the middle of the court with wing attack Alice Teague-Neeld the stand-out. Fowler-Nembhard ended the match in style, with the full-house on their feet when she nailed a two-point super shot in the final second. The record crowd took the total attendance across the home-and-away season to 343,634 - the highest figure in national league history.

Record-setting Fever topple Giants to secure top spot
West Coast Fever have set a new record winning streak and secured their maiden Super Netball minor premiership with a 73-56 triumph over the Giants. Unbeaten since round two, the Fever became the first team in competition history to claim 11 consecutive victories at RAC Arena on Sunday. They have lost just twice all season and will head into the finals as hot premiership favourites with home-court advantage. The achievement follows consecutive one-goal preliminary final heartbreaks for the Fever since their breakthrough title three years ago. But goal defence Sunday Aryang noted the job wasn't finished yet, with a premiership there for the taking. 'I think we'll probably sit in it until after this game,' Aryang told Fox Sports when asked about the Fever's first minor premiership. 'Then we'll probably go back to focusing on the next game and just staying locked in for that as well.' West Coast, who led 37-33 after a tight first half, put a match-winning gap on the Giants with a dominant 20-11 third term and won every quarter.

Aryang had three intercepts, four deflections and four defensive rebounds in her best performance of the season. "The previous game was a bit of a grind, shutting down the goal attack, whereas this game I could have a look a bit more and just go flying for the ball, which was nice," Aryang said.
