With a team captained by Julie Seymour and coached by Ruth Aitken, New Zealand were silver medallists in the netball at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. They lost to Australia 57–55 in the gold medal match. The match was tied at 46–46 at the end of normal time, and 14 minutes of extra-time saw the sides still level at 55–55. In sudden death extra-time, Sharelle McMahon scored the vital point to give Australia the necessary two-goal gap to win the gold medal.[1][2][3]
