The Tornadoes clawed back from a disappointing half-time result of 42-50 to win 87-80 against the dangerous visiting team, which maintained an impressive 60 per cent shot ratio throughout the night.

Kilsyth entered the match with a 14-4 win-loss ratio, already owing one of their defeats to the Tornadoes.

The match was one of two remaining games at Elphin Sports Centre for Launceston this season, and the team is now focused on delivering a finals match to the city.

Tornadoes coach Reece Potter said they were able to recognise shot opportunities that were handed to Kilsyth in the first and second quarters.

Potter said the gaps were shut down, the game speed was intensified and their defence worked to force Kilsyth's attack into rushed long-shot chances.

"We changed the game a little bit and lifted the intensity," he said.

"Getting across the line was really tough . . . Allie Wilson was a machine, she only had nine rebounds, but they must have been the biggest nine rebounds I've ever seen.

"I think once we got up we were quietly confident, but they're such a good team - the talent they have is unbelievable, they can compete with most WNBL teams."

Wilson secured 25 points for the Tornadoes, which was complemented by 12 rebounds from Mikaela Ruef.

Potter said Lauren Mansfield also stood out with solid match stats, including three steals for the home team.

Emma Russell, Ali Partridge and Sam Phillips were also strong contributors to the victory.

"It was a good team effort, but I definitely applaud those couple, Emilee Harmon had a good second game back, particularly in the second half," Potter said.

The Tornadoes' will next play Frankston at Elphin next week, a chance to steal a second victory from the visiting Victorians.
