Holly Hobbs was next to get her name on the score sheet with a strong drive into the D and hitting the ball under the keepers foot.
Hannah Bremner started the attack for the next goal driving from the halfway line and passing the ball into Danni Morgan who swept the ball hitting the backboard again.
