Career

societies

Peters played for the NSW Sapphires when he was 17, moved to the United States for a year in 2003 and played in the Women's United Soccer Association for New York Power. She then played for nine months as the first Australian in South America at the Pelé Club and for the remaining three months of the year back in her home country before going back to the USA. With the Charlotte Lady Eagles she finished first in the Atlantic Division of the Central Conference, but then lost in the Central Championship Final to Central Florida Krush. She then played for Northern NSW Pride, again NSW Sapphires and most recently for Newcastle United Jets in the 2008 W-League . She scored her last goal on November 29, 2008 for an interim 4-1 in a 4-2 win on matchday 6 against the Central Coast Mariners . At the end of the league round they were in second place, but then lost on January 10, 2009 in the semi-finals of the final round with 0-1 against Canberra United . This was the last game for her and record national player Cheryl Salisbury . In the following season, Newcastle could not win a game and only finished last.

National team

Peters was appointed for the first time at the age of 17 in March 1996 for the national team of Australia and was used in the "Tri-Nations Tournament" in New Zealand against New Zealand and South Korea . Her first major tournament was the 1999 World Cup, where she was part of the Australian squad and started the first two group games against Ghana (1: 1) and Sweden (1: 3). Their team was eliminated after a 3-1 win against China in the last group game.

However , it was not taken into account for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney .

At the 2003 Oceania Championship , which Australia won and qualified for the 2003 World Cup , you scored six goals. At the World Cup she was part of the Australian squad . The Australians failed after two 1: 2 defeats against Russia and Ghana and a 1: 1 against China after the preliminary round. For the 2004 Olympic Games, Australia had to qualify with two games against Fiji and Papua New Guinea . Peters scored a goal in the 10-0 win against Papua New Guinea. At the Olympic tournament , she then came to three appearances in the group games and scored the opening goal for Australia in a 1-1 draw against the eventual Olympic champion USA . Thus Australia qualified as the best third party in the group for the quarter-finals against Sweden , but they lost 2-1.

Since Australia switched from the Oceanic Association to the Asian Association on January 1, 2006, they had to qualify for the next World Cup via the 2006 Asian Women's Football Championship , which Australia was allowed to host. Peters reached the final against the People's Republic of China with her team. After the two teams separated 2-2 after 120 minutes, to which Peters had contributed with a goal, there was a penalty shoot-out, in which Peters missed, as did Collette McCallum , while all the Chinese scored. As finalists, however, they were qualified for the World Cup in China . At the World Cup, Australia played against Ghana in the first group game , in which the Australians won their first World Cup, and in the last group game against Canada and helped to reach the quarter-finals with a 2-2 draw . But they then lost this with 2: 3 against the eventual finalists Brazil .

For the Olympic Games 2008 Australia could not qualify.

Peters played her last international match against Italy on February 7, 2009 .
