ANOTHER high-powered round of ANZ Premiership action is done and dusted, with some interesting scorelines and stats telling the story of Round 4. We take a look at the numbers of the round that was.

When it came to circle edge this round, there were none more impressive than Peta Toeava who continued her impressive run of form to run home with 25 goal assists, 32 feeds and 18 centre pass receives to her name against the Tactix on Friday night. Joining Toeava in the 30-plus feeding club is Tactix’ Erikana Pedersen (18 assists from 32 feeds, 20 receives), Steel’s Gina Crampton (16 assists from 30 feeds, 28 receives) and Stars’ Grace Kara (17 assists from 32 feeds, 24 receives), while Magic’s Whitney Souness racked up 49 centre pass receives and 31 assists from 52 feeds across her two games.

The circle defenders pulled out all the stops once more but did not necessarily have the same flair as usual with intercept stats down across the board. Temalisi Fakahokotau was impressive as ever and had a much more well-rounded game than usual, racking up five gains to top the leaderboard this round and was joined on that number by her opposition keeper in Sulu Fitzpatrick who was much cleaner in comparison. Sitting on four gains apiece were Storm Purvis and Phoenix Karaka (both two intercepts) and Holly Fowler (one intercept), joined by Kelly Jury and Erena Mikaere who both played two games, though Jury certainly got the better stats with another three gains to her name. Karin Burger and Georgia Tong also had solid games, racking up two intercepts apiece.

Heading down the other end, there is no surprise who topped the goaling tally once again with the same names performing well consistently week in and week out. Grace Nweke was influential as always with 38 goals from 40, while Maia Wilson was the only other individual performer who put in close to a similar tally with 34 from 37. The real impressive performance this week was from the Pulse however, with both Aliyah Dunn and Ameliaranne Ekenasio going at 100 per cent accuracy in the first match before backing it up with a high accuracy tally again the next day, shooting a combined 45 and 46 goals respectively across the two matches. Kelsey McPhee had an up-and-down round, shooting 19 from 26 on Sunday and 28 from 37 on Monday, clearly improving her volume though her combined accuracy of 75 per cent leaves something to be desired in the Magic camp. Meanwhile, Te Paea Selby-Rickit (16 from 24) was also down on accuracy but made up for it in the midcourt with 18 centre pass receives, teaming well with Ellie Bird who was on song at 90 per cent accuracy. Kalifa McCollin and Jennifer O’Connell were much more robust in attack this week, combining for 87 per cent accuracy.
