In their first match, UNE lost 15-12 to the University of Adelaide, before Griffith University thumped them 36-0 to claim seventh place in the eight-team tournament.
UQ made it three tournament wins in a row after defeating Macquarie University in the gold medal match.
UNE’s clash against Griffith University was over by half-time, with Eseta Aho Fangaloka, Alysia Lefau Fakaosilea, Sam Treherne and Lauren Brown all scoring long range tries.
After an improved performance in Sydney, UNE have been the most disappointing side at the tournament this weekend.
The loss of Alicia Quirk has seriously hurt their attack, as she held the keys to unlocking the likes of Hannah Southwell in the first two tournaments.
In the bronze medal match the University of Canberra took an early lead against Bond University but Bond drew the scores level early in the second half.
With scores locked at 12-12, Bond University found the match-winner with Katie Heffernan crashing over for a try to give Bond a 19-12 victory.
Aon Uni 7s will conclude at Bond University on the Gold Coast.
