WESTERN Pride's latest player of the match had to weather W-League style strikepower in her team's hard-fought National Premier Leagues victory.
Pride goalkeeper Bianca Warrener highlighted why she is vice-captain and such a vital part of this year's side in the 2-1 victory over Olympic at Goodwin Park on Sunday night.
Warrener repelled multiple shots, including those from former Ipswich and Brisbane Roar W-League striker Allira Toby.
"She was amazing,'' Pride head coach Trent Gregson said.
"She was under a lot of pressure in the second half . . . and Allira Toby was hitting balls at her point blank and she was pulling off saves. That takes a lot of heart.''
