The Central team now head to Invercargil for Wednesday night's final against the Southern Steel who have been unbeaten through the playoff season.

It will be the Pulse's first final appearance in their 10 year history.

The Mystics went out to an early six point lead after the first quarter but the Pulse steadily clawed their back into the match at Wellington's TSB Arena.

The Pulse reduced the deficit to two goals by half time and edged ahead to lead for the first time in the match at the end of the third quarter by just one goal.

However the Pulse dominated the final fifteen minutes to shut down the the Northern challenge and push on to their seven point victory.
