Peninsula Power Women continued their unbeaten start to the season, defeating UQFC Women 3-2 at CJ Greenfield Reserve on Sunday night.

UQFC were out of the blocks quicker, with Tegan Lynch running onto a beautiful ball and crossing to Mariel Hecher, who calmly converted.

Settling into their rhythm, Power then hit back through Annie Evans, who scored a brace with goals either side of halftime.
