Caitlin hits three for Matildas

Canberra's Caitlin Munoz, who set aside time to coach local Canberra side The Leopards on Wednesday night, scored a hat-trick for The Matildas today.

Sally Shipard also had a good 67 minutes on the field hopefully ensuring her injury problems are behind her.

The Matildas secured a comprehensive 7-0 win over Chinese Taipei at the BCU International Stadium in Coffs Harbour in what was the team’s final home match prior to next month’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in China.

Australia dominated from the opening exchanges and held a 3-0 lead at half time before rounding out the scoring with four unanswered goals in the second period.

Munoz led the way with a hat-trick while there were also goals for Sarah Walsh, Heather Garriock, Joanne Peters and substitute Kate Gill. Australia hit the frame of the goal on several occasions while Garriock and Gill also had goals disallowed.
