Cold
Power Magic shooter Malia Paseka has announced today that
she and her partner Sam are expecting a baby later this
year. As a result Malia will not play any further matches
in the 2016 ANZ Championship, but has already indicated her
desire to get back on court in 2017.
"Malia is a valued
member of our Magic family both on and off the court and we
are all very happy for her at this exciting time," said Cold
Power Magic coach Julie Fitzgerald.
"We also look forward
to helping her resume her careeer after the arrival of her
baby in November."
With the Cold Power Magic having three
other international calibre shooters in the squad, no
replacement is being brought in.
The Cold Power Magic's
next match is on Monday night at Claudelands Arena, Hamilton
against the Tactix with tickets still available through Ticketek.
