Team Bath cruised to a 58-28 win over struggling Team Northumbria in the Vitality Netball Superleague.
The hosts responded well to last week's defeat by Manchester Thunder as they opened a comfortable lead against Team Northumbria, who are yet to win a match this season.
South African goal-shooter Lenize Potgieter fired in two efforts in quick succession to give Bath a slender 10-9 lead after the first period.
But Bath duo Claire Brownie and Karla Mostert became increasingly influential in the second quarter and they headed into the half-time break with a 27-15 advantage.
Chelsea Lewis came on for Potgieter in the third period and the 21-year-old quickly made her mark, scoring three times within a matter of minutes, and even a heavy fall failed to unsettle the Wales international as she guided the home side to a 44-23 lead.
During a physical encounter, Northumbria shooter Lynsey Armitage lost a contact lens in a clash with Eboni Beckford-Chambers, but Bath kept their composure and closed out a third win of the season.
Bath head coach Anna Stembridge told the club's official website: "It was a really good response. We were a lot more clinical in attack and we worked hard in defence to secure plenty of turnovers.
"We didn't start well against Thunder last week but we put that right tonight. It was also good to see us build quarter by quarter."
