Olivia Tchine's Outstanding Performance Boosts London Pulse

Olivia Tchine has scored an impressive 166 goals in five matches for London Pulse in the Netball Super League.

Tchine was the top scorer with 32 goals as London Pulse defeated Leeds Rhinos 61-52, moving up to second place in the Netball Super League standings.

Pulse secured their second consecutive victory, reaching 12 points and drawing level with leaders Loughborough Lightning, who have played one fewer game and handed London Pulse their only defeat earlier this month.

Following her 46-goal performance against Nottingham Forest in the previous round, the 25-year-old England goal shooter once again excelled against the Rhinos, extending her league-leading total to 166 goals from five matches.

Leeds Rhinos responded with 23 goals from Jamaica international Simone Gordon and 15 from Paige Reed but ultimately fell short at Canon Medical Arena.

The loss left Leeds in ninth place with three points, ahead only of Birmingham Panthers, who have yet to score this season.

Loughborough Lightning have the opportunity to increase their lead at the top when they face bottom-placed Birmingham Panthers in one of three matches scheduled for the fifth round on Saturday.
