They also sealed an unprecedented league-grand final double in the season the Stingrays became the first team to be promoted to, then win, the NSW Women's Premier League.

And her two goals - one clinical, one spectacular - came in her 100th match for the Stingrays.

That milestone was kept secret until after the Stingrays finished cementing their claim as the state's best.

Naturally, Carney was a popular choice for player of the match.

"They kept that one (the 100 game milestone) secret so that was a surprise," Carney said.

"It (the Joey Peters Medal) could have gone to anyone actually, they all played well, I was the one to get it."

Carney, a Stingrays mainstay throughout the club's roller-coaster four years, declared the victory one of the best moments of her glittering career.

"It's totally up there, from going down to going straight back up and winning the premiership and the grand final is just a great effort," she said.

"It's sweeter that this is our first season back up, but it puts pressure on us next year to keep the standards high.

"I was happy just to get a win - 6-1 is unbelievable."

Carney hoped the core of this year's all-conquering team would be back for the title defence.

"If (Sam Spackman and Michelle Heyman) they go full-time with NSWIS we could lose them, but they've got W-League and State League, so far they said they're staying so hopefully they do," Carney said.

"I'll be here and hopefully we can do it again."

Although Carney earned the judges' nod as best on-ground, she was quick to deflect praise to her team-mates.

"Heyman played unbelievably well, she was winning balls, closing down, creating opportunities," Carney said.

"Sam (Spackman) and Trudy (Camilleri) were great in midfield, the defence was awesome and Sarah Gollop was solid. Everyone was up for it. The first half, we didn't play our game but in the second half we attacked more and it was great."
