Goldsworthy, the captain and wicketkeeper of the Knights side, finished with a tournament-high 266 runs at the same average, having only been dismissed once.
Her highest score was an unbeaten 63, with every other innings except one eclipsing 30 runs.
Knights coach Felicity Limbrick was blown away with her performance.
“She only got out once and each game but one she retired,” Limbrick said.

“She kept every game for the first 10 overs and came on and bowled in the second 10.
“She’ll most likely get a phone call to go down and train for the state championships and I’m sure she’ll be right up there in the votes as one of the star players of the tournament.”
Limbrick added Yarrawonga’s Sienna Sims produced a brilliant all-round display, while Albury’s Olivia Sanson and newcomer Emily Mitchell, from Wangaratta, also impressed.
The Knights finished third in their pool and seventh overall out of 18 teams – making them the best performed North East side across all boys and girls age groups this season.
