MELBOURNE Vixens secured top spot on the Super Netball ladder beating West Coast Fever 68-42 at Perth Arena on Saturday night.

Head Coach Stacey Marinkovich said there was a lack of execution in attack during the game and the scoreline was a disappointing end to the year.

Captain Natalie Medhurst failed to dominate against the strong Vixens defence scoring just three goals from seven attempts and was replaced by Kate Beveridge after half time.
