Nathan Czinner and Koby Johnson both bagged doubles to help Souths to a two-goal victory over Gosford in Hunter Coast Premier League Hockey on Sunday.
The Newcastle side were 6-4 winners at the Wyong fields, a victory that followed their loss to Norths on Friday night.
Norths beat University 5-0 in the only other fixture played on Sunday.
University coach Ben Brown said Norths "controlled the contest" but he was encouraged by his side's performance.
"As a group that's building, we created some little chances and there's some good signs there for us, but we've still got a long way to go," he said.
"Depth is a big issue, we've got four of our probably top-five players unavailable at the moment."
