Narre Warren young gun Grace Loelu is putting together an impressive season in the Southern Division netball as the goal shooter continues to terrorise every opponent she plays on.
Loelu scored an incredible 71 goals in the win against Port Melbourne on Saturday as the Magpies made light work of the Colts to win 84-38.
Coming into the clash, Port Melbourne was fifth on the ladder with a solid season record of 5-6 and a loss to the tune of 46 goals was rather unexpected.
Narre Warren won by just 12 goals the last time they played the Colts, but this time was much different as the home side put up its biggest score of the year.
The game was over at quarter time with the scoreboard reading 24-6 thanks to some brilliant ball movement from the back court.
Coach Michelle Mashado would’ve been pleased with the consistency her team showed, as they continued to extend the lead throughout the game, never taking the foot off the pedal.
The 18-goal margin was extended to 25 goals by half time, 39 at three quarter time and finished at 46 goals, the team’s second win of this margin in three games.
Loelu was a problem for the defenders and has now scored 436 goals this season, but her output is a testament to the midcourters and defenders who have been impressive every week.
Narre Warren, which is now 10-2, will look to continue its form and boost its percentage even further when it takes on Murrumbeena this Saturday at Kalora Park Reserve.
The netballers will take the court at the familiar venue for the next two matches, playing before the footballers in what is a big couple of weeks for the club.
