Pulse land fourth straight win to maintain unbeaten start

London Pulse maintained their 100% start to the season with a fourth consecutive Netball Super League victory in beating Leeds Rhinos 72-53.

Pulse led 37-29 at the half-time and pulled further away in the second half to secure a comfortable win - the fourth straight game they have topped the 70-goal mark.

Pulse's Olivia Tchine scored 35, while Rhinos' Joyce Mvula had 27 at the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield.

It was a rematch of last month's inaugural Netball Super Cup final, which Pulse also won.
