Tayla Gregory led the way for the Sharks with 32 hitouts, five marks and four goals.
Tyla Crabtree, Olivia Meagher and Caitlin Miller also hit the scoreboard with three goals each.
Midfielders Maddy Watt (31 disposals, seven tackles and ten clearances) and Steph O’Brien (31 disposals, five marks and four tackles) continued their great form as well.
After the game, Lappin said, “We were really pleased with our performance. We had good conditions today, so we wanted to move the ball quickly, share the ball around and score as much as we could.”
“I don’t think we did a great job of sharing the ball around in the first quarter. I think we were a bit greedy, and it led to inaccurate goal kicking.”
“At quarter time we spoke about wanting to focus on getting the ball in better positions to score and I think we were able to do that from the second quarter onwards.”
Next week, Southport travel to Brisbane to take on Wilston Grange at Hickey Park at 2pm.
