TWO DEFEATS ON THE TROT FOR JETS

The Jets women sank to their second straight loss in the W-League, beaten by Canberra United 2-1.

The Jets hit the front inside 10 minutes when American import Erin Gilliland earned a penalty.

Emily van Egmond was cool under pressure from the spot.

But Canberra equalised shortly after the break thanks to Ashleigh Sykes.

The visitors then hit the front in the 67th minute through Toni Pressley.
