Her fourth goal came on the stroke of half-time, sliding the ball into the net from a wide position, while her fifth goal in the last two minutes of the match was the vital winning goal, rounding the ‘keeper and keeping her composure to fire past the defenders on the goal-line.
Heather Elder opening the scoring in Wanderers’ opening match against HAHK Mladost in the second minute, collecting the ball on the left of the court and driving into the circle to slot the ball home, before Becky Ward doubled the lead for the Dundonians four minute later, rocketing the ball into the left hand top corner to make it 2-0.
Wanderers looked to be cruising to a comfortable win when Charlotte Watson tapped home from close range shortly before half-time, only for Sasa Omic to pull a goal back a minute before the interval.
Sanja Omic then narrowed the deficit further to 3-2 in the 27th minute, beating the out-stretching Carmin Dow with a shot from the right of the circle.
Nevertheless, when Ward found Jennifer Smith in space on the right of the court in the 31st minute, her accurately dispatched shot found the corner of the net to increase Wanderers’ advantage at 4-2.
Ward was the creator once again in the 36th minute, finding Bunce in acres of space to lift the ball high into the net.
Viktoria Somin scored HAHK Mladost’s third with three minutes remaining but proved too little, too late for a comeback.
Wanderers’ sit in joint first place with SV Ariminen and HC Ritm Azot Grodno with a 100% record.
