Hunter Hurricanes did not make the same mistake two nights running when beating UWA Torpedoes 6-4 in a women´s National Water Polo League match at Lambton Pool in Newcastle, Australia last night. After leading by three goals the previous night, Hunter gave up a draw to the Torpedoes but last night Hunter held its nerve to convert a 5-3 three-quarter-time lead into a 6-4 victory thanks to an Anna Gonzalez goal inside the final two minutes.
The Torpedoes led 1-0 at the first break with Hunter gaining a 2-1 lead at the buzzer of halftime with a hopeful shot from Elly Goodwin.
Hunter men went two in a row over the Torpedoes with a 15-7 victory. As with the previous night, both teams spread around the scoring in what was a heated game with both head coaches gaining yellow cards by halftime. Hunter led 5-0 at the first break and only 6-4 at halftime before pulling away to 11-5 after three periods.

Men:
Newcastle: Hunter Hurricanes 15 (N Campbell, S Berry, D Robinson 3, M Baird 2, T Hunt, A Bennie, T Jemmett, M MacDonnell) UWA Torpedoes 7 (S Kovalenko, J Balczer 2, Z Kistamas, B Mercer, H Brown).
