Wasps Netball "stamped their authority" on the chase for the Netball Superleague play-offs, their coach Mel Mansfield believes.
Wasps beat Team Bath 61-46 at the weekend to widen the gap between themselves and fifth place to six points with five games remaining.
Wasps are now second, three points behind table-topping Manchester Thunder. Loughborough Lightning's game-in-hand is against Surrey Storm on Monday, live on Sky Sports YouTube at 6.45pm.
Mansfield said: "That was potentially our best performance over the full 60 minutes tonight against really strong opposition.
"We stuck to the game-plan and trusted it throughout, winning every single quarter which I'm really happy with.
"I'm so pleased with the defence, they worked so hard to limit Bath all over the court and that made a real difference.
"It's amazing what a win does for the mood in the camp and to beat a top team in a pressurised game like this will do wonders for the players' confidence.
"The top four is so tight and I think we really stamped our authority with a win like this."
