Melbourne Uni claimed the four premiership points on Saturday, in what was a tough game against Geelong.
Howling winds and low temperatures made for tough conditions, but Melbourne Uni dug in to win by 14 points.
Britt Gibson had another outstanding game playing a dominant role up forward, booting three critical goals.
Kicking against the wind in the last quarter, Jasmine Garner slotted into defence, collecting 31 disposals and 9 tackles.
Taking a number of intercept marks, Garner was also crucial in holding back Geelong’s push for a last quarter comeback.
Emma Kearney and Danielle Hardiman both had successful returns.
