The Robinhood Stars have lost just their second match of the ANZ Premiership season, falling 63-60 to the Northern Mystics in the first instalment of the Northern Challenge series in Auckland.
A thrilling extra-time victory over the Good Oil Tactix has consolidated the Robinhood Stars spot at the top of the ANZ Premiership ladder and given them a timely confidence boost ahead of a much anticipated top-of-the-table battle with the Northern Mystics to end round eight of the ANZ Premiership.
The Robinhood Stars will be looking to bounce back from their first loss of the ANZ Premiership season when they host the Good Oil Tactix on Monday to conclude round seven of the competition.
"Straight away I feel comfortable in the environment. There are no cliques or hierarchy, it's just been awesome to come in and be part of the team straight away."
A five-game winning streak has the Robinhood Stars planted firmly at the top of the ANZ Premiership ladder and the Kiri Wills-coached side looks comfortably placed in the hot seat.
The Robinhood Stars have marked coach Kiri Wills' 50th game in charge in style with a comprehensive 61-49 round five ANZ Premiership victory over the Splice Construction Magic in Tauranga.
Unbeaten after four rounds, there looks to be no slowing down for the Robinhood Stars who were clinical in maintaining their winning streak last week with a 59-45 triumph over the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel.
