Northern Redbacks and Hyundai NTC reached the NPL – Women’s Night Series semi-finals after a Round Three goalfest on Saturday.

 

Both teams needed a draw in their respective games to join already-qualified Murdoch University Melville and Fremantle City in the last four.

 

And while NTC got exactly that against Balcatta, Redbacks left nothing to chance in thrashing Subiaco 9-0 at Dorrien Gardens.

Redbacks’ opponents in the semis will be Group B winners Fremantle, who maintained their 100% record with a 6-1 win over Curtin University at Edinburgh Oval.

 

Courtney Butlion grabbed a hat-trick, Annabelle Leek got two and substitute Jayme-Lee Smith the other. Nina Boorman netted for Curtin.

 

NTC got the point they need with a 2-2 draw against Balcatta.

 

Carys Davis scored both of NTC’s goals, while Angelique Alberts and Ashleigh Panaia struck for Balcatta.

 

NTC will take on MUM in the last four. The Group A winners rounded off the group stage with a 4-0 defeat of Perth SC – Ellie La Monte (2), Kate Schubert and Stacey Learmont on target.

 

Both semi-finals will take place at Dorrien Gardens on Sunday, 1 March.
