There was a peculiar moment in West Coast Fever's thrilling 67-62 comeback victory over the NSW Swifts in their semi-final clash at USC Stadium.
The Fever are eyeing a spot in the Super Netball grand final after denying NSW back-to-back titles with a frantic final quarter that included a dramatic net mishap.

"The net not helping things again," Sue Gaudion said in Nine's commentary.
"Yeh, that's terrible. Absolutely terrible."
Thankfully officials let the goal stand, and Fowler top-scored for the game with 55 points as West Coast fought back from a slow start to be victorious on Sunday.
The Swift led for the first two quarters before the Fever kicked into gear in the second half.
Fever's Sunday Aryang and Courtney Bruce were stingy in defence against the Swift attackers, with the latter even copping a rough eye poke that might leave her a bit worse for wear tomorrow.

"The first half it was nervous but we have an amazing team who brought it back at the end," Aryang said.
West Coast will now face Sunshine Coast Lightning next week for a chance to play the Melbourne Vixens in the Super Netball grand final in Brisbane in a fortnight.
