Queensland Firebirds became the first Super Netball team to beat West Coast Fever in Perth this year.
With two rounds to go in the season the Firebirds have every reason to be aiming high.
Fever have been leading the way throughout the campaign but after Saturday night's six-goal loss at Perth Arena they face a stiff challenge to retain their position.
They round out their regular season against fellow top four teams the Melbourne Vixens and Giants.
Things have opened up for the Firebirds who sealed their impressive win - to improve their record to seven wins and five loss - over the Fever on the back of a dominant second half display in which they overturned a three-goal half-time deficit.
They sit third, eight points behind the Fever, and with games to come against the rock bottom Adelaide Thunderbirds and the second-to-last Magpies at home.
But coach Roselee Jencke knows they can't take anything for granted.
"It puts us in a much better position now, however, we are under no illusions that T-birds will want to get a big scalp and that Magpies are on a real mission to send Sharni (Layton) out on a real high," she said.
"We just have make sure we are doing everything right and come out and play really well against T-birds and back up the following week.
"Our destiny is in our own hands and we need to keep performing."
Fever coach Stacey Marinkovich was remaining focused on wat lies ahead.
"It's taken a lot of hard work to get there and we've got a big finish to the season if we're going to get into finals and contest them," she said.
"We will come back better next week and we'll learn from this experience as well.
"We bounce back well and it's about getting everyone on the same page, back on the training track and enjoying the opportunity of playing two home games in-a-row."
