NCU Untouchables Red 4 (Krista Hagen, Lucy Rowland, Dianne Wilson, Brigette Wright) def. CUA 17’s White 3 (Mackenzie Gibb, Brigitte Sander, Dhiaan Sidhu)
A four-goal lead from Untouchables proved to much for the Canberra United Academy to overturn as they came storming back into this Round Five matchup.
Untouchables controlled much of the game early in what shaped as a high-intensity contest, and they piled on goals somewhat despite the flow of play. Krista Hagen, Lucy Rowland Dianne Wilson and Brigette Wright all netted as Untouchables pulled further and further away, appearing to put the game out of reach. But the Academy would not relent, and a barnstorming final period with goals from Mackenzie Gibb, Brigitte Sander and Dhiaan Sidhy saw them fall just short of picking up a point.
