The Central Pulse remain unbeaten at the top of the ANZ Premiership after easily accounting for the Northern Mystics in Auckland.

The Pulse notched their sixth win to open the season with a comprehensive 60-38 victory.

The 22-goal win came after a lethal performance in the shooting circle with GS Aliyah Dunn shooting at 93 per cent after making 39 goals from 42 attempts while GA Ameliaranne Ekenasio was at 89 per cent having made 16 from 18.

The loss was the biggest of the season for the Mystics, who were without Maria Folau.
