The NSW Swifts are sole leaders of the Super Netball competition after stunning the Adelaide Thunderbirds 65-57 in a top-of-the-table clash.
With both teams unbeaten before their split round contest in Adelaide on Easter Sunday, the battle featured two of the competition's heavyweights.
The Thunderbirds are gunning for their third successive trophy while the Swifts are also favoured for the finals with New Zealand star Grace Nweke a new addition to their goal circle.
A third quarter blitz set up the win for the Swifts after they trailed 33-29 at halftime.
The visitors' attack was clunky in the early stages while they incurred 15 penalties to the T-Birds' four in the first quarter alone for an 11-18 scoreline.
Adelaide's Romelda Aiken-George bagged 14 goals for the period as the 36-year-old Jamaican moved past England's Geva Mentor for most ANZ Championship/Super Netball matches played, with 233.
The Sydneysiders started to find their groove in the second quarter, with Helen Housby nailing a two-point super shot on the halftime buzzer.
But they really came alive in the third term with goal-keeper Teigan O'Shannassy setting the standard with five intercepts.
Nweke piled on 15 points while Housby snared another two super shots as well as four regular goals.
Winning the third period 21 goals to 12, Adelaide coach Tania Obst rang the changes to try to shut down the hot streak.
But there was no stopping the Swifts, with centre Paige Hadley and wing attack Grace Whyte continuing to control the midcourt and keep the pressure on the home side.
Nweke finished with 48 goals from 50 attempts, converting at 96 per cent, while Housby was 13 from 14 including four super shots to deliver Adelaide's first loss at home in 11 outings.
O'Shannassy, who ended with a stunning six intercepts from her 35 minutes on court, was named player of the match.
"That was a great game, we wanted to come out here, we had nothing to lose and we wanted to show that we're not afraid and I think we built through the game," she said on Kayo Sports.
"I wanted to go out and hunt ball. I think that's one of our strengths in defence."
