The Brisbane State High School graduate was named Player of the Tournament for Australia after leading the Pearls to the sport’s inaugural Olympic gold medal early on Tuesday morning (AEST).

Australia beat New Zealand 24-17 to claim gold, with Caslick a star in the victory.

The 21-year-old won the award for the tournament’s best player after scoring seven tries in six games.
