Wodonga Raiders claims drought breaking netball win against Wangaratta

Raiders were just one goal clear of the Magpies heading into the final term and extended that lead to eight goals by the final whistle.

With A-grade victories hard to come by against the Magpies over the years, Raiders' coach Jodie House said it was a big moment for the club.

"There was a discussion that that's potentially one of the first times Raiders has ever beaten Wang in A-grade," House said.

"It's a huge win for us. I just said to the girls to stick to their guns and forget about the scoreboard.

"They just took it in their stride and set small goals for what they wanted to achieve for the next quarter, and once they achieved it they kind of got their confidence rolling."

Raiders' Kytlee Willis and Blaynee House were instrumental in the midcourt.

"To beat a side like Wang, you have to have everyone performing," House said.

"Something we spoke about at the start of the year was to celebrate the small stuff."
