Pukke continued their unbeaten run in Varsity Hockey when they trounced UJ 5-1 in the final game in Potchefstroom on Monday evening.
The were no goals in the first period of the game as neither side could assert their dominance over the other but it did not take long in the second period for Pukke to hit their stride.
The home side took the lead fairly early in the game when they scored through midfielder Celia Evans.
They added another three goals before the last break and were well in command over their rivals from Johannesburg.
Going into the last 20 minutes of the game the lead was too much for the UJ girls to turn around and although they did manage to score a goal of their own the home side scored another goal to win the match 5-1.
It was a great evening for Celia Evans who managed to bag herself a hat-trick of goals for Pukke.
The side from Potchefstroom are the only side to win all their games so far, and after three games they have not been challenged by any of their opponents.
