The Collingwood Magpies have qualified for the Super Netball semi-finals in dramatic fashion after holding on to their top-four place despite a 56-54 defeat to the Melbourne Vixens.
Needing a victory or narrow loss to finish fourth ahead of defending champions NSW Swifts, the Magpies trailed by two goals in the dying seconds of Monday's derby clash at John Cain Arena with Vixens shooter Mwai Kumwenda lining up a two-point shot that would have eliminated them from the finals.
But Kumwenda's long shot missed the mark as the siren sounded, with Collingwood players and staff desperately waiting for confirmation that they would be making their first finals appearance since the 2019 season.
