Following a morale-lifting win against the University of Johannesburg on Monday, the Madibaz will want to take that momentum into their next two matches, against UCT and Stellenbosch.
NMMU coach and former national player Lana Krige said they were delighted to be playing at home and were ready to embrace the experience.
“Some teams have problems playing at home because the pressure can get to them,” Krige said, “but we have never had that problem.
“Our girls absolutely love playing at home because there is a lot of support and hype – for us it’s a great advantage.”
Krige knows, however, that there will be no easy matches, particularly against Maties.
