Brown played a key role, with a thrilling win in his singles match where he scored two on the last end to triumph 25-24.
The Vics then won the fourth Test 2-1, to take a series-winning 8-4 lead into today.
Victoria’s under-18 girls have dominated their opponents from the outset and lead 8-1 in the best-of-12 series.
