Round nine of Bendigo Amateur Soccer League took place at the weekend, with Tatura getting the job done at home over Shepparton South in the Central Victoria League One Women’s competition.
The star of the show was Tatura’s Tara Ambrosini, who scored the only three goals in the match — her first hat-trick of the season was two games ago against Kyneton District.
Ambrosini is now tied-fourth on the league’s goal tally, with 11 from nine games.
The Ibises’ 3-0 win means they have a record of four wins from nine games and are sitting fourth on the ladder, one point clear of La Trobe University, which is fifth.
