With an eye on Commonwealth Games selections, Australia dominated.

Madi Ratcliffe scored a double, the first and last goals of the game, ending the team’s year in style.

Emily Hurtz, Gabi Nance, Maddy Fitzpatrick, Renee Taylor, Savannah Fitzpatrick and Kathryn Slattery were all on the scoresheet too.

The triumph ends the Hockeyroos’ year, ahead of a huge year where they will compete at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast and the World Cup in London.

“It was pretty good to put eight goals in the back of the net. It’s a great way to finish 2017 with the girls,” Ratcliffe said. “It’s been a really successful Test series here in Adelaide, especially on the back of the International Festival of Hockey where they got the better of us. It’s a good way to finish off the year.”

Patterson had made her first international start in the first game, while Stewart scored during the series.

Australia won all three of the Tests, with 5-1, 2-1 and 8-1 wins, scoring 15 goals across the series.

On their way to a 4-1 half-time lead, Ratcliffe opening the scoring after four minutes when her cutback deflected in off Japanese defender Mami Ichitani.

Australia won the first short corner of the second half, with Renee Taylor firing high into the corner to make it 5-1. With victory in hand, Australia left it until the final four minutes to pile on three more goals.
