Tegg netted twice before halftime and though goals to Liv Chance and Kylie Jens had levelled the scores by the 52nd minute, parity lasted five minutes before an own goal from Libby Williams gave the Aucklanders the lead five minutes later with Tegg sealing her hat-trick and the win in the 71st minute.
Suburbs will be joined in Tuesday’s national semi-final draw by Glenfield Rovers who dispatched quarter-final giant killers Western Springs 11-0 at McFettridge Park on Auckland’s North Shore.
Defender Bridgette Armstrong led the scoring onslaught with four goals including a hat-trick in the first 26 minutes.
Jamie Hackett and Football Fern Hannah Wilkinson each netted doubles while goals to Steph Skilton, Katie Rood and Liz Milne rounded out the rout.
In Dunedin, Christchurch’s Coastal Spirit emerged from an all-South Island clash with a 5-2 win over Roslyn Wakari.
Laura Merrin fired the visitors into an early 2-0 lead and although Roslyn’s Una Madden reduced the lead to 2-1, then again to 3-2 after Monique Barker’s first-half effort, a second-half brace from Serena Patel made sure the club – formed by a merger of Rangers and New Brighton in 2007 – continued their best ever run in the competition.
The other semi-finalist was found on August 2, when Waterside Karori thrashed Palmerston North’s Massey 6-1 in Wellington.
