Central Coast Mariners have served Newcastle Jets their first loss of the season, beating them 4-1 in the F3 Derby at Polytec Stadium.
Despite the Jets opening early and against the run of play through Lauren Allen, assisted by Alexis Collins, the Jets were unable to withstand the force of the Mariners.
It was Annalise Rasmussen, an Academy graduate, who found an equaliser towards the end of the first half, breaking a three game goalless streak for the side.
Rasmussen had kept a level head throughout the half after being called offside multiple times, and was finally rewarded with a goal, scored on the end of a cross from Peta Trimis.
The Mariners waited until late into the second half to truly demolish the visiting Jets, scoring three goals in the space of just 12 minutes.
Rasmussen ended her shift for the evening with a brace, scoring again, this time assisted by an Isabel Gomez pass that broke through the Jets’ lines.
It was Rasmussen’s replacement in Tamar Levin who found the back of the net for the first time in a Central Coast shirt.
Levin’s shot was fired in from outside the box, well out of the reach of Jets’ Kiwi keeper Anna Leat.
The final nail in the coffin for the Jets came at the right-foot of 17-year-old Eliza Familton, who also made her debut for the Central Coast.
While the game was an overwhelming success for Central Coast, they may now have an injury concern for their starting keeper, Sarah Langman, who went down late in the second half, clutching her right knee.
Langman received treatment on the pitch, with her knee being heavily strapped, but was unable to continue playing only a few passages of play later, which saw Annalie Grove make her first appearance for the Mariners between the sticks.
