Loughborough Lightning remains unbeaten in the Netball Super League after a 73-56 victory over London Mavericks. Head coach Vic Burgess emphasizes a week-by-week approach despite their eighth consecutive win.
Loughborough Lightning head coach Vic Burgess said her side "are taking it week by week" after continuing their unbeaten start to the Netball Super League with a 73-56 win against London Mavericks.
Lightning took a 17-12 lead at the end of the first quarter at their Sir David Wallace Arena and maintained their advantage as they held the Mavericks at arm's length to secure an eighth win from as many games.
"We talk about it [unbeaten record] but, ultimately, nothing changes as we go into training on Monday," said Burgess.
"We evaluate what we've done and move on to the next match straight away. It doesn't change."
Lightning's star shooter Samantha Wallace-Joseph was in clinical form and scored 37 goals to inspire her side to a victory which moved them on to 24 points.
"Collectively, it [unbeaten record] brings pressure because every day you want to go out there and win a game but we are trying to take each match a step at a time," said player of the match Wallace-Joseph.
"I strive under pressure and am loving it."
The Mavericks are in fifth place on 10 points.
"Just in the big moments, we're not quite there yet," said Mavericks head coach Tamsin Greenway. "We know that and it's frustrating - because we have the moments - but that's what happens when you play such a quality team."
AO Manchester Thunder moved up to second place on 19 points with a 67-55 win against sixth-placed LexisNexis Dragons, but can be leapfrogged by London Pulse, who are third, if they beat NIC Leeds Rhinos on Sunday.

"We just need to make sure we are absolutely ruthless in our execution and just be relentless."
Forest began the season with three consecutive victories but their win over the Panthers ended a run of four straight defeats.
Streutker said Forest's decision to go "back to basics" helped them get back on track against the Panthers.
"We've been training really hard and it's just so nice having the results to show for it," she said.
"I think we've had a couple of shaky, shaky games before this one, so I think it's really good that we had a great score today."
Betsy Creak scored 24 goals for the Panthers while Sophie Egbaran notched 20 but head coach Sonia Mkoloma said her side were not clinical across the second and third quarters.
"We know it's not good enough and it's below our target," she added.
"So that was disappointing because we put ourselves in a bit of a hole."
