Sunshine Girls and West Coast Fever star, Jhaniele Fowler, has described winning her fifth Stacey Marinkovich Medal, awarded to the West Coast Fever’s MVP of the season, as an “amazing feeling.”
The dominant goal shooter led the Suncorp Super League in net points with 1516.5 and goals with 872, respectively.
Her 872 goals put her more than 200 goals clear of anybody else, with Donnell Wallam of the Queensland Firebirds coming closest with 669.
Fowler was also selected as the Fever’s Players’ Player of the Year.
“It’s an amazing feeling. I’m more than honored and elated to have been selected for this prestigious medal,” Fowler said.
She noted that having her family there to witness it made it more special.
“It definitely means a lot more to have them to celebrate this momentous accomplishment with,” she said.
With this being her fifth time winning the medal, Fowler was asked if this one felt any different than the others.
“It’s right up there with the other ones,” she said.
“Every year that I win this I try to not take it for granted because there’s a lot of work that goes into this, not only on my behalf but what my teammates have to put in for us to get here and for me to get here is so incredible. Each one means the same,” Fowler added.
Fowler will now turn her attention to the Netball World Cup set to begin on July 28 in South Africa.
“The next couple of weeks looks like me going in with my Jamaican teammates. We’re going into camp for a few weeks and then heading to the World Cup and taking that head on,” Fowler added.
