The Mystics were hoping for redemption after a disappointing loss to the Northern Stars in the last round but Tactix led by six goals after the first half.

The Mystics came back firing in the third quarter, showing a noticeable lift in urgency shooter Bailey Mes found decent space under the hoop while Tutaia continued her impressive form from range.

The Mystics leveled the scores before racing away to a commanding 45-37 lead at the last break and restricting the Tactix to just five goals during the quarter.
