Yarrawonga defender Macey Hicks helped lead the charge in the victors' 33-31 triumph and was rewarded for her efforts with a best on court medal.
Just one goal separated the two sides heading into the second half, with the Pigeons then finding momentum to take a three goal advantage into the final term.
