With the Saints eight goals in arrears with 12 minutes left, Fetterplace suggested moving from the team's usual zone defence to a more direct style.

Coupled with the move of Amelia Hills to the centre and Cathy Strachan to wing attack, the Saints stormed home, outscoring the Genesis 14-4 in the last quarter to win 45-43.

Coach Matt Hills was generous in his praise of Fetterplace. "It was his move and I give him credit for it. We got a couple of turnovers and the momentum went with us. It was a great win against good opposition."
