Stobbs looked for a second as she saw an effort fantastically saved before smacking the post with a powerful effort, while Zoepfl also hit the woodwork.

Despite leading 4-0 the Ladies showed no signs of letting up in the second period, with Stobbs shooting into the roof of the net on 54 minutes for her second goal.
Just a moment later and Zoepfl had her hattrick after an excellent finish, while substitute Kmita added two goals in just two minutes from close range.
