In the second half, Vella and Teagan Berry each scored their second tries of the game, while Roxy Murdoch and Tyla Nathan-Wong also joined in on the scoring.

The Dragons wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard, as Tyla Nathan-Wong's accurate pass found Vella, who skillfully crossed the try line in the left corner.
The Eels fought back with a try from Cassey Tohi-Hiku, but their momentum was halted by the Dragons' strong defensive efforts.
