The Mainland Tactix remain rooted to the bottom of the trans-Tasman netball championship ladder after falling to a heavy loss to the Melbourne Vixens in Christchurch.
The visitors brought plenty of urgency as they crossed the ditch on the back of two straight losses, stunning the Tactix in the second quarter to set up the 67-43 victory at the CBS Canterbury Arena.
Relentless defensive pressure wore down a confident Tactix unit which went into the game on a high after a round-four upset over the Pulse.
