Loaded WaiBOP must continue to play with an "attacking mentality" to remain in the chase for the 2016 National Women's League's play-off race, according to coach Barry Gardiner.
A Helen Arjomandi hat-trick helped WaiBOP record their second straight win of this season's campaign - beating Auckland Football 4-2 at Cambridge's John Kerkhof Park on Sunday in the fourth round of the competition.
The in-form team went ahead in the 9th minute when New Zealand under-17 player Sarah Krystman burst forward out of midfield and placed the opener past Auckland keeper Ashleigh Emery.
Serial goal scorer Arjomandi, playing in a deeper midfield role, then scored twice in four minutes.
Her first was a well taken header in the 18th minute, the second a calmly slotted finish after latching on to the end of a WaiBOP counter.
Just as a rout looked on the cards the visitors came back into the game four minutes before the break when Auckland's Evie Milynn lobbed WaiBOP's Amanda Wilshier.
Auckland's second half substitute Maisey Dewell pulled another goal back for the visitors with a neat finish 20 minutes from the end, before Arjomandi's crisp finish for her hat- trick settled the game.
The result pushes WaiBOP up to third - three points behind second placed Capital Football but with a game in hand.
