Goalkeeper Amy Cornish helped keep the Roadrunners at bay, whith help from defenders Ally and Lauren Robertson, Katie Filice and Lauren Evans.
Midfielders Allegra Quadri, Jaclyn Tatay, Taylor Glass, Emily Bonshor and Keyanna Russell also battled it out on the field against the top-tier team, with Ashley Simpson, Sarah Strachan, Olivia Walker and Rachelle Folk as constant threats through a well-organized defence.
