"Our young guns were so good... I'm very impressed, they’re going to be something else. They all played amazing. They’re stepping up. I know a few a of them debuted last week and they definitely stepped up again this week."
Robinson said the side went into the game knowing the Devils would be tough to beat, but focused on executing to get the job done.
"Norths, we knew coming into this week, they were going to be a great team because they’ve got fantastic players. We knew it was going to be a battle," Robinson said.
"We knew we weren’t executing the last two games so that was our goal this game and we did that so very happy.
"We just have to be more confident in ourselves. We know we can do it. We just have to execute and fix our little mistakes. We know we’re a good team, we know what we have to do."
Devils centre Shenae Ciesiolka said it was a tough outing and frustrating to finish with a loss, noting mistakes was what let her side down in Round 3.
