Waalitj Marawar remains in search of its first win of the season after falling to Kuwarna by 17-points at Unley Oval on Saturday.

It was the fifth AFLW meeting between the sides, with the Crows booting their highest score of the season to maintain a perfect record against the Eagles.

The visitors trailed by 25-points at three-quarter time but fought desperately in the final term, going inside attacking 50 ten times to Kuwarna’s one to start the quarter.

But just one goal resulted from that dominance, as the home side defended grimly to improve to a 1-2 record and consign Daisy Pearce’s side to 0-3.

It was a contest of swinging momentum in the first half, with Kuwarna putting the visitors on the back foot only for the Eagles to hit back.

The visitors booted the last two goals of the opening term to slice the margin to two points at the first break, but that deficit quickly blew out as the Crows slammed through three in a row, including a second to Grace Egan.

Waalitj Marawar did well to stem the bleeding, with Sanne Bakker and Amy Franklin booting much-needed settling goals.

But the momentum soon swung the other way.

Caitlin Gould benefitted from a desperate lunging smother from Christina Leuzzi to convert from point-blank range, then Zoe Bown and Jemmika Douglas hit the scoreboard as the Crows reached their highest score of the season by half-time to lead by 27 points.

Ella Roberts continued her stellar season with 25 disposals, driving Waalitj Marawar's third-quarter charge, but the visitors could only cut minimally into the deficit and trailed by 25-points at the final break.

The Eagles return home to host Melbourne at Mineral Resources Park at 3:05pm local time on Sunday.
