One of her standout performances came in the preliminary final against back-to-back premiers North Melbourne–Werribee at Kinetic Stadium, where Zielinski converted an important set shot to keep Box Hill within reach at halftime. She finished the match with two goals, reinforcing her reputation as a composed and dependable target in front of goal on the big stage.
