The NSW Swifts must break through two big historical barriers to overcome arch-rivals Queensland Firebirds in the trans-Tasman netball Australian conference final.Despite their record as a netball powerhouse, the Swifts have surprisingly lost all 10 matches theyve ever contested in Brisbane, including last years epic grand final which was decided by one goal at the death.Its just as well that Mondays big match wont be won on paper as Swifts fans will be further concerned to learn the Firebirds have never lost a finals match in Brisbane.First though, the New Zealand conference final will be contested on Sunday, with the unbeaten Southern Steel hosting Waikato-BOP Magic in Invercargill.Magic are the only one of the 10 teams to have made each of the nine finals series, but they will start as underdogs against a Steel side that scored 10-goal wins over them in both regular season clashes.The Firebirds are the first defending champions from Australia to make it back to the finals the following season.Theyve done it just in time, with the competition finishing in its ninth year and being replaced in 2017 by separate tournaments in Australian and New Zealand.The Swifts can take heart from the fact they won their last scrap with the Firebirds in late May in front of a competition-record crowd of 13,314 at Sydneys Qudos Bank Arena.The two teams met at the corresponding stage of last years tournament, but the Swifts will be much more rested than they were before the 2015 Australian conference final.They lost to the Firebirds by 11 in Brisbane, less than 48 hours after winning a home elimination game.We had to play on the Friday night and then had to travel Saturday and play the Sunday lunchtime, Swifts goal attack Susan Pettitt recalled.That was obviously an experience and something that was very difficult for us to do, turning around in that quick a time to match up against the Firebirds, who are a quality side.Weve had an eight-day turnaround (this year), so its a little bit longer than a normal week.Mentally and physically its an advantage to have the whole week to prepare to get our bodies right from the last game and to work on things we want to work on.Air Max 90 Gray Black .

Jordan Lynch, the all-purpose Heisman Trophy finalist from Northern Illinois, failed to make it into that exclusive club.Over a two-week span, ESPN Insider is assessing the stability of the coaching situation for each team in the top 10 leagues in college basketball. Next up: the West Coast Conference.The league has four new coaches and three who have been leading their programs for more than a decade. Theres probably as much stability right now in the WCC than just about any of the other top 10 leagues in the country.These rankings go in descending order, fromm least to most stable.dddddddddddd.
