By halftime, the visitors had stormed to a 10-3 lead, demonstrating their depth and attacking power.

Their goal distribution underlined their offensive variety, with standout performances from Vasiliki Plevritou (5 goals), Ashleigh Johnson’s likely successor Tina Andrews (4), and Tricha (3). The victory was sealed with another dominant final quarter, finishing 17-8.
