INTERNATIONAL bounced back from its shock draw with Apollo, with a strong win over the second-placed Blue Lake in Round 12 of Limestone Coast women’s soccer.
Tess Andrews made the difference when she scored two goals for Inter.
The league’s two best goal-scorers both found the back of the net, as Ella Doody scored for Inter, while Chelsea Frost scored the Rangers’ solitary goal.

MILLICENT UNITED 1 d GAMBIER CENTRALS 0
In a game which was poised to have major implications on finals, Millicent came out on top with a hard-fought win over the Lions.
Leonie McCallum scored the decisive goal when she found the back of the net for the first time this season.
The gap between the fourth-placed Centrals and United in fifth, has been reduced to just point with three games left in the season.
Out of the two sides, Millicent has a slightly easier run home and could potentially steal fourth place from the Lions, who have occupied the last finals place since Round 6.
