The result is an improvement for Drouin, which lost its Round 4 game against Warragul by 15 points.
Warragul coach Lexie Fenton said she was happy with the win from a close game.
“It’s really good to win in a tight one, because in the last two we haven’t,” Lexie told the Baw Baw Citizen after the game.
“We’re really happy to beat them twice, and especially on our home court.

“It was a really good team effort.”
Lexie said the win was good for the team’s finals hopes, but the upcoming game against Traralgon will be difficult.
“We’ve had a few ups and downs, a few injuries early on, but we’re hoping to come into the back end and sneak into the finals.
“Traralgon are the reigning premiers for a reason, so it will be really good to test us against the benchmark.”
Drouin coach Kylie Proctor said that while the visitors kept up in the second half, “we started bad and slow.”
“I don’t think that was our best day out. I thought our second half was a lot better than our first, but in this competition if you don’t put four quarters together anyone can beat you.”
