Under their resilient coach, Stephanie White, they’ve defied expectations and earned their place among the elites in recent years. 

This match against Sparks is another chance to make a statement and prove that they belong among the top contenders.

On the other hand, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for the LA side. 

Injuries have blighted the Sparks so far this year, players thrown both back and forward to cover for fallen teammates, that lack of defensive nous has cost them so dearly.

Unfortunately, Julie Allemand and Azura Stevens have been side-lined this season, weakening the roaster further. 

Currently sitting 10th in the table with only four wins from their 14 matches, it’s paramount for Curt Miller’s women to mount a return to winning ways.
