The championships were played over three days and the girls came away with two wins and three losses.
Sophie, 14, and Lisa, 16, made the move to Murray United this season and are enjoying the transition to the NPL environment.
"Playing with the boys is a challenge and it's a great atmosphere within the club. I also enjoy the opportunity of participating in Melbourne Victory's player development academy program," Sophie said.
She took a lot away from the experience in Sydney.
Other sports news:
"I really enjoyed the challenge of playing in a team of people I had never met until the trials," she said.
"We played against very strong teams, which was great, because it pushed me to improve my game.
"Playing with the older girls really helped develop my knowledge on the field as they are great role models."
Sophie said playing alongside her sister has brought them closer together.
