Hearts started their time in Division 2 with a match against fellow promotion rivals Wessex. Heart started the better of two team, racing to a 3-0 lead with both team taking their time to settle. Numerous mistakes within minutes occurred, but hearts were the ones first on the board making the most of the errors. Though this didn’t last long as Wessex eventually woke up for the game.
Hearts continued with the starting 7 throughout the first half, taking their game to Wessex. Unfortunately Tracy and Ellie B struggled to get the ball into their shooters due to a strong defensive set up, which resulted in lack of opportunities to increase our score line.
Wessex led 29-9 at HT.
Wessex continued to dominate in the scoring front, so Hearts made their own attacking chance, bringing Saffie on for Zena in GS. The last quarter was phenomenal for Hearts, as we outplayed Wessex across the court. The defence of Tash, Ellie and Lauren were on point; picking up numerous interceptions which allowed the girls to play the ball down the court well. The shooting combo of Saffie and Ness were on point winning the quarter.
Hearts pulled in back enough to come within half of the Wessex score.
