The North Tamworth fullback was at her best as she crossed for three tries and kicked nine goals.
The 30-point haul elevated her to the top of the point-scoring table with 64 points from 10 tries and 12 goals. It sits her 28 points ahead of Gunnedah's Zoe Fleming who has 36 points so far.

She also tops the try-scoring table with 10 tries to be five tries ahead of Fleming in that department as well.
Resch also polled the three points in last Saturday's big win over Barraba and leads the B&F table with five points. She is one point ahead of Gunnedah's Nautica Eather and Werris Creek's Jess Baker.
It is early days in the 2021 season but it's all looking promising for her and her Bears.
"She's a very handy asset particularly in broken field play when playing fullback," coach James Cooper said.
Resch's speed and ability to beat a tag makes her an impossible player to defend when she's in full cry.
Barraba's Ashley Lowe received a deserving two points after her hard-working effort in a well beaten side while North Tamworth's Steph Halpin celebrated her recent birthday with a three-try haul as well.
Her recent spate of long distance races are helping with her stamina and it was little wonder she finished the game strongly, bagging two of her three tries in the final 10 minutes.
Charlotte Eather's three-try haul in Gunnedah's 34-nil win over Werris Creek was her first award of the season with Werris Creek's Jess Baker polling the two points and joining Nautica Eather in equal second on the table.
Out at Moree Dungowan's Phoebe Porter polled her first points of the season in a three-point game to inspire the Dungowan Cowgirls to a 34-12 win over Moree.
She is one of 16 players in equal third on three points.
Kootingal's Sarah Gill is one of those after she excelled in her side's 34-6 win over Narrabri Bluebirds at Tamworth Rugby Park on Sunday.
