ROSIE Malone says she is desperate for Australian Hockey League success.
Yesterday the Gold Coast’s Hockeyroos star got the ball rolling by starring in Queensland’s 13-0 demolition of the NT Pearls in the opening quarter-final of the AHL finals.
Joined by fellow national stars Steph Kershaw and Jodie Kenny, Malone ensured the Scorchers were dominant all day, securing their spot in tomorrow’s semi-final from 12.30pm.
Queensland had all the attack early in the match but some strong saves from Elizabeth Duguid including an impressive diving deflection kept the Pearls in the match.
Malone was among the action early, creating several penalty corner opportunities for the Scorchers – Kenny took advantage of one in the dying seconds of the first term, nailing a powerful drag flick.
Rebecca Greiner hit the scoreboard in the 22nd minute with a field goal in congestion that found the top right corner of the net.
Greiner went back and was able to slip the conversion past Duguid.
Despite several opportunities, the NT Pearls were unable to score during their PumpPlay and entered halftime trailing 8-0.
The second half started as the first ended, Queensland pushed into attack to create a penalty corner opportunity from which Madison Fitzpatrick launched a drag flick and scored her first for the match.
