Buoyed by successive wins, Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic have set the platform to continue that momentum against Central Pulse in Monday's ANZ Championship netball clash in Porirua.
After starting the season with a demoralising four-game losing streak, the Magic have gone some way to righting their ship with back-to-back wins
in their last two outings. The application and execution during the latest, a 16-goal towelling of West Coast Fever, was particularly encouraging and, for the team, the priority is to keep building.
"We took another step up in the match against Fever and did more of what we do well, more often," Magic import Khao Watts said.
The South Australian rookie, who paid her own way to attend Magic's final pre-selection trial, is continuing to blossom after being thrust into the challenging wing attack role.
A virtual unknown, Watts, 23, previously played for South Australia in the Australian Netball League while also representing the state at age-group level, gradually working her way up court from wing defence and centre to the pivot's role where she has found her calling with Magic.
