The Saints had the lead before an ankle injury to centre Tanhee Flower saw her taken off, with the momentum shifting.

Coach Tahleah Herekiuha admitted it was a nail-biting finish in Holbrook.

"We were just lucky that time was on our side," she said.

"I was just begging for the timer to go off."

Youngster Lani Wall was a standout for the Saints, with the 16-year-old impressing in goal-attack.

"She's still quite young and had a tough game, but she came out on top," Herekiuha said.

"She really proved herself."
