WORCESTER Wolves women's firsts and seconds have a double-header tomorrow.

The firsts take on Northamptonshire Titans at 4pm at the University of Worcester followed by the seconds facing WLV Albion in a West Midlands derby.

Wolves' promotion-chasing National League Division Two North team go into their game on the back of a 61-47 win at Nottingham Wildcats.

Their strength in depth was key without at least six regulars and a slow start saw them go 7-0 down.

The much-improved hosts came out firing but when Toma Pulokatie drove through traffic to finish strongly Wolves were finally on their way.

They led the first quarter 16-13 with intense defence but foul trouble allowed Wildcats to keep within touch helped by accurate free-throw shooting.

Jess Dowles shone as Worcester held a three-point advantage after Nottingham hit a buzzer-beating three.

Both teams struggled from the field in the third quarter and Wildcats closed the gap to two.

But then Wolves blew the game wide open with a 16-0 run with Shanice Turner connecting on a three-point shot while Dowles did the damage on the inside.

The visitors held Wildcats to just eight fourth-quarter points.

Greta Pulokaite led all scorers with 15 points while Turner had 10 and six rebounds.

Head coach Ryan Emery said: "Defensively we are really clicking at the minute.

"We forced Nottingham into 22 turnovers and held our opponent under 50 points for the second game in a row.

"Shanice did a great job playing in a role she hasn’t been asked to play all year.

"Megan Mcloughlin, Violet Nhamo and Aalyah Malcom all stepped up massively."
