Only two goals separated the two teams going into the last quarter, with the score only slipping away to a seven goal loss for HSOG in the last five minutes.
HSOG player-coach Alex Sinclair says her team are well aware of how tough it will be for them tomorrow when they take the YMCA court against YMP1 at 9am.
“It's going to be a hard one. We've got heaps of players out with injury, and most of the team will have to play full games.”
Sinclair said it was not the greatest feeling to be sitting at the bottom of the table after winning the premiership last year.
“Especially with only tomorrow's game and one more, time is running out for us to make the top four.”
Their final game is against Horouta Gold.
“Our aim will be to try to stop YMP's connections with their shooters, but that's not going to be easy,” she said.
“We will need to really work as team to compete with them.”
YMP coach Ingrid Brown said little by little her team were looking to polish up on aspects of their play.
“Playing High School Old Girls, we can utilise this game to do that.
“I am happy with how we are tracking.
“But ahead of the playoffs we will be looking further at how best to use our impact players from the bench,” Brown said.
“We want to keep striving.
“There is always room for improvement and no room for complacency.”
High School Old Girls will need to bring their top game for the full hour if they want to stop YMP's run tomorrow.
