The Illawarra side will travel north to face Sydney University in the last round of the NSW Women's NPL1 season. Sitting in ninth spot, the Rays would need to beat the competition leaders and hope other results fell their way to make the finals.

Rays midfielder Price, who is in her first season with the club, said it was crucial to try cap the year in good form.

"Every game so far has been quite challenging but we'll try and beat them," she said. "I think this will be our last game, depending on [other] scores, so hopefully we can win and finish a high.

"During COVID times, it's been a quite difficult season. It was hard to not get a full pre season in and funny only playing every team once. Every game and every chance has really mattered.

"But I love it here, it's so chilled. It's a great community and the girls have been so welcoming."

Price, who is now a Wollongong resident, will remain busy after the Women's NPL1 season.

Earlier this month the 24-year-old moved from Canberra United to Western Sydney Wanderers for the next W-League season.

Price will have plenty of familiar faces around her, with Stingrays teammates Caitlin Cooper, Erica Halloway, Danika Matos and Chloe Middleton also part of the Wanderers squad.

"I'm really excited for the upcoming season with them," she said.

"I've heard a lot of positive things about [Wanderers coach] Dean [Heffernan] so I'm excited to work with him. There's the new facilities that I'm excited to be involved in and to also be locally this year, staying in the Sydney and Illawarra districts.

"Obviously Caitlin, Chloe, [Erica] and Danika, I'm looking forward to playing with them during Wanderers as well. It's good to be playing with them with the Stingrays this season too."
