At half-time there’s not much different in the stats. The Vixens have been penalised slightly more but not enough for it to make a difference on the scoreboard. Both teams have the same number of gains. You can see the Vixens are just taking a four more seconds on average to score and that’s likely because shooters Garbin and Austin are often dishing off to each other. Passing once they get into the circle. There have been bodies hitting the deck in the Vixens’ shooting circle too as Sterling-Humphrey starts to monster her way to ball.
Here is the difference in the game. Okay, so the TBirds are converting their centre passes at a higher rate (88 per cent) and their gains too (50 per cent). So they’re treasuring the ball a bit more. You can see they got on a run towards the end of the quarter there, scoring six of the last 10 goals. The Vixens only scored nine goals in the second quarter, that’s quite low. That’s definitely something their coach will mention in the sheds. There has been a huge momentum shift heading into the main break.
