Girls in green triumph over NSW
MEAN IN GREEN: Tauranga U16 Girls bench
Tauranga Under 16 Girls have beaten NSW Girls in a clinical exhibition of the game.
NSW opened the scoring, with #12 catching Tauranga goalie Alisha Winstanley off-guard. A centre-forward goal from Tauranga's Julia Kayes and an outside shot from Caitlyn Lyttle saw them bounce back to a 2-1 lead. NSW failed to execute on two 6 on 5 opportunities late in the first, to stay behind by one goal.
A slow start to the quarter, but Tauranga's Kayes managed to roll-out and score two more from close-range, Tauranga showing some promising passing and teamwork. NSW's R. Braun managed to slip one past Winstanley to bring the score to 5-2 at half time.
A quiet third quarter saw Aurora Munkeldal score another for Tauranga. 6-2 with a quarter to play.
The fourth and final quarter was much like the third, however NSW were the ones to score this time - G. Robson taking the honours, making the score 6-3 at the final whistle.
