If Surf Coast is to make a series comeback, they will need co-captain Cortney Hollowood to find her rhythm.<\/p>\n
Hollowood struggled from the field in Game 1, shooting 4-15 (26.7 per cent) from the field and 1-8 (12.5 per cent) from three-point range.<\/p>\n
Her performance echoed a larger issue from the field, as the team managed just 36 per cent shooting compared to Gippsland’s 47.3 per cent.<\/p>\n
Coles said he is confident his star guard can turn things around this weekend.<\/p>\n
“I feel a little sorry for Gippsland’s guard to be honest, she will bounce back and go really hard in Game 2,” he said.<\/p>\n
“With Alex [Trezise] back in the side, that two-pronged attack in the backcourt will also allow Jess [Scannell] to have more space to work with.<\/p>\n
“It’ll come down to how we respond in the first quarter, the earlier we can open up the court, the more options we’ll have to produce with.”<\/p>\n
