A 4-4 draw with Nepean in the Division 1 semi-final saw South Coast eliminated on pool rankings.
It was an up-and-down tournament for the South Coast side, with a combination of impressive wins and frustrating results.
Their first game against North Sydney was a prime example, with South Coast unable to capitalise on Airlie Ogilvie's two goals and came away with a 2-2 draw.
It was a different story in their second game as they clicked in to gear with a convincing 8-2 win over Macarthur.
Ogilvie continued her goal-scoring ways as she found the back of the net four times, while Kalindi Commerford added three goals and Emma McLeish one.
It was another satisfying result in game three as South Coast knocked off traditional rivals Illawarra 5-0.
Illawarra had little response to South Coast's fire power, especially their set pieces, with penalty corners seemingly guaranteeing a goal.
Commerford bagged another two goals, while McLeish, Shelly Watson and Bella Worner Butcher all grabbed one.
Game four was a reality check, with a 6-2 loss to eventual champions Campbelltown, with Ogilvie and McLeish grabbing a goal each.
While they fell short of the final, there was something to celebrate, with Isemonger, Mayo and Commerford all selected for the NSW under 21s side for the National Championship in Canberra next month.
