In a relatively empty CTICC, the Spar Proteas got their second stage of the tournament off without much of a hitch as they clinched a 69-28 win.

It was an exciting first quarter as Ine-Marí Venter got the Spar Proteas off to a flyer with 13 shots out of 15 attempts, as South Africa won the quarter 18-12.

In the second quarter, the Spar Proteas dominated again as they easily found goal-shooters Nichole Taljaard and a struggling Venter, who lost her shooting range, the home side took the quarter 15-3.

With the Spar Proteas in a comfortable 18-point lead, changes were made by coach Norma Plummer as Elmere van der Berg came in for Venter and Taljaard moved from goal attack to goal shooter, the decision paid off once again as the two combined well with Khanyisa Chawane at wing attack as the Spar Proteas extended their lead by winning the third quarter 18-6.

In the final quarter, more changes were made with Taljaard and Van der Berg swapping to free Taljaard, who ended on 80 percent accuracy with 24 goals in 30 attempts.

The Spar Proteas will next face New Zealand in another Pool G encounter on Wednesday afternoon.
