Katrina Rore shields the ball from Grace Kukutai during the Central Pulse's win over the Northern Mystics last night. The Pulse beat the Northern Mystics 59-49 at Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua on Wednesday night to maintain their spot at the top of the table. This time both teenagers played a telling role in setting a new challenge for the Pulse. Few were giving the Mystics much hope against the table-topping Pulse, but patience from the visitors on attack saw them jump to an 8-2 lead. The Pulse led 43-38 at the three quarter mark and doubled their advantage by the final whistle.
