A 22-9 opening quarter powered CoLA past Ipswich on Saturday, with Pride running out to a 77-55 victory.
Ipswich never recovered from their slow start, trailing from tip to buzzer as they dropped their second game of the season.
CoLA's Debra Wilson-Osuide scored a team-high 19 points to go with a useful double-double from Chloe Vella (13pts, 11reb) and a near triple-double from Chandera Jones-Aryeh (7pts, 10reb, 9ast).
Pride's defence held up against the free-scoring reigning regular season champs, with only Harriet Welham (19pts) and Maddy Wormald (11pts) able to pass into double-digits for the visitors.
At 4-1, CoLA now move onto a trio of games against teams currently outside the top six in Worcester, Bristol and Barking, providing further opportunity to continue their early season momentum and build a real title challenge by the time the month is out.
Ipswich on the other hand need to pick themselves up quickly as they face another title rival in the form of Brent Bulls in Suffolk next Saturday
