Moments later Carney shot only to see the UNSW defence in turmoil which ended in UNSW scoring an own goal.

Carney was in the thick of the attack turning her opposition in circles and scored just before the break beating 4 players in the process. 4-0 half time UNSW fought strongly realising they were beaten 15-0 in the first round they dug deep and this game was not going to be like the first round but after 15 minutes in the second half Maniso Micheal  scored from 18 meteres extending the scoreline to 5-0.
Carney added another and substitute Michelle Heyman scored minutes later 7-0 The statement was made this could be our first round this season we remained scoreless against the Stingrays all season but in the 89th minute that all came undone when UNSW scored a long range goal. 7-1 final score.
