Taini Jamison Trophy series: Silver Ferns wrap up series with dominant win over Jamaica in second test at Auckland

The Silver Ferns have wrapped up the Taini Jamison Trophy series with another dominant victory in the second and final test against Jamaica at Auckland.

Having romped to a comprehensive result in the first game, New Zealand faced a tiring 'Sunshine Girls' outfit, running out 75-35 winners at Pulman Arena.

Much like at Eventfinda Stadium just a day ago, Jamaica were unable to keep up with the pace the Silver Ferns played at.

While the visitors took a more calculated approach on attack, New Zealand often needed just one or two passes to find sharpshooter Grace Nweke underneath the net.

Her lethal touch again inspired the Silver Ferns to an emphatic first quarter, out-scoring their opponents 20-11 in the opening 15 minutes.

But Jamaica would find resolve in the second quarter, offering much more in the way of defence, to cut New Zealand down to 16 goals, trailing 36-22 at halftime.

Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua was visibly unhappy with her team's performance, which resulted in a much more physical New Zealand side in the second half.

Elle Temu again played a starring role with a couple of interceptions and a block, whilst Phoenix Karaka spoiled plenty of potential Jamaican attacks.

Jamaica's lack of options on the bench were evident, as they began to fade and offer little respite to New Zealand's offence.

Replacement shooter Maia Wilson carried on from where Nweke left off, nailing all but one attempt at goal, showing great body position to frustrate the defenders.

The Silver Ferns outscored Jamaica 39-13 in the second half in a much-improved performance from the first two quarters, to seal the Taini Jamison Trophy series.
