The Northern Stars have caused a second upset within a week in the ANZ Premiership. Five days after toppling the Northern Mystics, the Stars have pulled off a stunning 55-50 win over the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic in Manukau tonight. The win came despite the Stars trailing by eight goals, after the opening stages made it look like the Magic would coast to a comfortable victory. As the Magic got sloppier with their feeds into the circle, the slicker Stars slowly edged back into the contest. The Magic didn't go away easily, and three straight goals from Lenize Potgieter dragged the deficit back to within one goal with seven minutes remaining.
