Karen Buhl netted four and Grace Vogler struck a hat-trick as University of Queensland FC Women mauled Peninsula Power FC Women 11-0 at University of Queensland Field 7.

Conceding double-digits for the third straight game, the inexperienced Power found no answers to a rampant UQFC side that saw Buhl and Vogler’s hauls complemented by braces to Vicky Lines and Zozia Sen.

The win – UQFC’s second highest ever in the competition - continues a recent run of form that sees them now undefeated in their past three matches and within two points of the top half of the table.

Power remain in ninth place with four points so far this season, but a league worst minus 55 goal differential after being held scoreless for the fourth time in eight outings.
