Melbourne Victory got back to winning ways in the NPLW thanks to a crushing win over Spring Hills FC.
The Girls in Blue were ruthless away from home, netting twice in either half to deservedly claim all three points from the Round 10 fixture on Friday night at Springside Recreational Reserve.
Jessica Young’s low finish opened the scoring midway through the first half, and was added to as Jasmine Millar picked out the same corner just past the 30-minute mark.
Spring Hills would respond when Aubrie Labno smashed in from a second-half indirect free kick, but Victory reacted emphatically to seal the win.
Astrid Bocci’s deflected effort restored the visiting team’s cushion before significant breathing room was achieved when Millar finished off a goalmouth scramble from close range.

Speaking to MelbourneVictory.com.au, NPLW Head Coach, Santi Escudero, was thrilled to see the team execute the game plan with such conviction.
“We targeted this match as an opportunity to control possession, and we definitely achieved that, which allowed us to fulfil our tactical game plan. Pleasingly, we coupled this with a clinical edge in the final third to ensure we got an important win.
“Of course, it was unfortunate to concede, but the way we responded to this, reflecting our dominance on the scoreline, was fantastic, and highlights the development of the players and how they are adapting to the NPLW competition.”
