Lightning controlled the contest from the opening quarter, combining defensive pressure with clinical finishing to steadily build an advantage and underline their status at the top of the table.
At the defensive end, Celena Appleby-Prince delivered an outstanding display at goalkeeper. The Loughborough pathway graduate was influential throughout, finishing with seven deflections and three gains as she went toe-to-toe with Mavericks shooter George Inger. Stepping into the role usually occupied by Alice Harvey would test most players, but Appleby-Prince looked assured and composed from the first whistle.
In attack, Ella Clark impressed in a more specialist role inside the shooting circle, adding valuable range with six Amex Super Shots from nine attempts. Her confidence from distance helped Lightning stretch the game and keep the scoreboard moving at key moments.
Experience Kissimmee Player of the Match Samantha Wallace-Joseph once again led the line with authority. Taking primary responsibility for the one-point attempts, the shooter netted 37 goals with just a single miss in another highly efficient performance.
With strong performances across the court and another ruthless team display, Lightning powered to victory and maintained their unbeaten run in style.
