Looking to hold on to their winning streak Eagles travelled up to Northampton where they face Northants Storm in their fourth game of the season. Eagles were coming into the game undefeated, so stakes were high. The game started well contested going goal for goal for the first quarter with some good patient play from the midcourt opening up the circle in attack.

Going into the second quarter eagles were 1 goal up. The second quarter saw the introduction of Katie fisher at GD, and the spirits of the team lifted. Defensive pressure through court was amazing forcing balls off court and great interceptions from Leah Middleton and Charlotte Maxfield alongside this was some quick midcourt transition and accurate shooting from Libby Burgess. Which had eagles 9 goals up going into half time.

The girls then carried their drive into the third quarter where the intensity picked up and they extended their lead to 45:33. The intensity carried on and Eagles continued to turnover and convert ball to extend their lead. Eagles ended up coming away with a 61:42 win. Player of the match went to Regan Peters for her consistent shooting and calmness under pressure in the circle.
