The West Coast Fever has defeated the Tactix 50-44 at Challenge Stadium in Perth on Sunday afternoon.

The win was set up with a superb 16-5 second quarter, to open up a 12 point advantage at half time.

Although, the Tactix hit back in the third quarter outscoring the hosts by seven points to close the gap to five.

In a closely fought final quarter, the Fever held on for a match deserved victory.

Caitlin Bassett was superb for home side, scoring 40 points, while Nikala Smith chimed in with 10.

The Tactix struggled with their accuracy, scoring 44 from 62 attempts, with Anna Thompson top scoring with 17.

It was just the Fever's second win of the year, while the Tactix are almost certain to miss the finals, as they are languishing in eighth position.
