Following the sixth round of Varsity Netball action there were highs and lows, clinical attacks and miserly defences. Take a look at a few of the match-defining stats we pulled together with the help of a calculator.
0
The number of goals the Madibaz scored in four minutes, during the two power plays against UP-Tuks. In comparison Tuks scored seven goals, counting 14 points.
3
The most defeats Kovsies have suffered in a Varsity Netball season, in their history.
5
Shadine van der Merwe, captain of Tuks, received her fifth FNB Player of the Match award against the Madibaz. She, Juline Rossouw of Maties and Zandré Kruger of NWU-Pukke now share the record for the joint most awards (five) in the four years of Varsity Netball. Coincidently they were SA U21 teammates in 2013.
8
The number of intercepts by Jasmine Ziegelmeier (Tuks) against the Madibaz. Ziegelmeier started at goal keeper and later moved to goal defence.
9
Seconds remaining on the clock when Kovsies scored goal number 52 against UJ which earned them a bonus point for losing with seven or less goals. Therewith it ended UJ’s hopes of possibly making the semi-finals for the first time.
27
The number of times a team has crossed the 50 mark for a bonus point.
35
If Pukke can keep the Madibaz to fewer than 35 goals on Thursday they will register a new record for the least number of goals conceded in the round robin stage.
51
The total number of goals Deancke Rhode of UJ sunk from the team total of 59. She achieved a brilliant goal average of 92% which helped earn her the FNB Player of the Match award.
59
The highest score UJ have managed against Kovsies since RAU’s name changed to UJ at the beginning of 2005.
