The Auckland Stars overcame a four-goal halftime deficit to beat the Central Pulse in their elimination final in Porirua last night, making the ANZ Premiership final.

The Pulse lead 29-25 at the half, but the Stars flipped the script in the third quarter, winning it 16-8, and then held their nerve over the final quarter to claim the glory.

They'll now play the Mystics in the final this coming weekend.
