POSGSC got off to a slow start today and allowed Westminster to score their first goal this season in the 15th minute, however the girls then started to shift up gears and managed to pull back an equaliser in the first half. Jakarra Hill with an exquisite diagonal through ball for Amelia Bressington to run onto and Bressington finished with aplomb after using her strength to hold off... her marker chasing back.
Although Westminster continued to pressure POSGSC, Young Nang Jung stood tall in goals, rushing off her line several times and playing the Sweeper Keeper role to perfection. The first half then petered out to an end as both teams made a raft of interchanges with the scores locked at 1-1 as the teams headed to the changerooms (well, POSGSC sheltered under their marquee whilst Westminster headed to the shade given by the trees).
Perhaps the coach's half-time talk had an effect as POSGSC came out dominating the second half. A 3-goal blitz in 6 minutes took the wind out of Westminster's sail and effectively killed the match off.
In the 60th minute Sarah Lowe set up Chelsea Salagaras inside the penalty box and Salagaras fired past the keeper who was rooted to the spot.
2 minutes later Hill won a free-kick just inside the opposition half and knowing that the Westminster keeper was susceptible, coach Weng Wong gave Katie Budenberg licence to shoot despite the distance! Up stepped Budenberg who gave it all she had from 55-yards out and the ball sailed over the keeper's head into the top-right corner!
In the 64th minute Sarah Lowe pounced on the left edge of the 18-yard box to lash home a shot into the keeper's far-post corner.
And with 10 minutes remaining, Hill won another free-kick right on the edge of the area. She dusted herself off to take the kick and fired it into the defensive wall. Lowe though showed her typical striker's poaching skill by swooping on the rebound and firing home her 2nd goal of the season.
So 5-1 it finished, giving POSGSC confidence heading into next week's tough roadtrip to Birdwood Park to face another Women's Collegiate Division favourite Torrens Valley.
But for today, the players and coach could enjoy lunch at their sponsor The Kensi.
