Second quarter saw Kinetics up their game and work tirelessly to close the gap. Defenders Ciara Kelly and Sarah Kay and Kayti Jeromson made play into the circle difficult for Kinetics midcourt feeders who were caught out by their interceptions.

Anja Kurtz came on and gave Filsket another boost which saw them head in to the last quarter with a strong lead.
Final quarter saw determination from both sides. Kinetics made a substitution, which saw Andrea Ross enter the shooting circle and play well alongside Liza Fullerton.
