The Free Staters, spearheaded by coach Martha Mosoahle-Samm, have displayed a ruthless strategy in multiple games of the opening series, potentially setting a record in the tournament&#8217;s opening phase.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A change in the game plan saw towering Pretorius make a historic return to set the court ablaze in an ambitious quest to help the Crinums claim their fifth TNL title.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was part of the technical team that lost to the Fireballs in last year&#8217;s final. Pretorius has won four league titles with the Crinums, helping the team secure victories in the competition previously known as Brutal Fruit Netball Cup.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As things stand, <a
