Netball Super League: Loughborough Lightning keep pressure on Manchester Thunder

Loughborough Lightning kept the pressure on Netball Super League leaders Manchester Thunder with victory over Saracens Mavericks.

Goal shooter Mary Cholhok scored 65 goals as the defending champions defeated Mavericks 68-60, with Rhea Dixon adding the other three.

Lightning had a brief spell at the top of the table before Thunder beat Severn Stars 61-46 later on Friday.

“It was really physical, it was not easy,” Cholhok said after the win.

Player of the match Cholhok, who leads the Super League’s scoring charts with 487 goals, added: “It was a great team performance. We expect so much from ourselves, it’s a win of over seven, but we could have won by more.”

Lightning head coach Vic Burgess added: “We said it wasn’t perfect, but these games are getting harder, teams have had more time to connect. There’s been lots of learning.”

Meanwhile, Mavericks head coach Camilla Buchanan said she “couldn’t be prouder” of her side’s performance, having lost to Lightning by 22 goals earlier in the season.

“There’s that winner in me that wants these guys to be triumphant, but there were triumphs all the way through that performance,” Buchanan said.
