NSW Country Origin star and co-captain Jennaya Ottaway led Goulburn's charge, pulling the strings in a massive win to make amends for a 16-0 loss to Yass last weekend.
Ottaway has been playing as a prop in representative football so far this year, but the 18-year-old is Goulburn's five-eighth and hopes she can impress in a playmaker role.
"Hopefully one day I can play in the halves [in representative football] if I can keep working and training hard but I'm happy to play anywhere," Ottaway said.
"If I can play in those teams I'm happy to just be on the field really so I'll play wherever they need me."
Ottaway set up Goulburn's first try with a damaging run, offloading to Kylie Mills close to the line to score.
Mills added her second try of the night shortly after, but Ottaway gave away the goal-kicking duties after missing both conversions. Lauren Kelly took over and booted five goals.
"I wasn't striking them well," Ottaway said. "Lauren and I practice a lot together and she's been striking them really well so I've always got that other option."
The Kangaroos threatened to fight back early in the match with a try to Tamika Murphy but it was merely a consolation as Goulburn put their foot down after the break to score three unanswered tries.
