"It's unreal, this feeling is amazing but we want to keep this up as a team," she said.
"Next year we're coming for you everyone."
Post-match, coach Jo Yapp was delighted with her side's showing at the WXV2 tournament.
"We had a challenging start, had very little time together to prepare early on and that time is now starting to show what we can do on the field," Yapp said.
"Ultimately, the way they played and conducted themselves, they really are inspiring and for me, seeing them over the last couple of weeks in South Africa going into schools and engaging with young people, that's what it's all about and as people I'm really proud to coach them."
Australia were out to a fast start, leading 21-0 in 22 minutes.
But Scotland fired back and were ahead by one point with only minutes left in the match.
Ill-discipline from Scotland led to Emma Orr receiving a red card before Francesca McGhie received a yellow for a deliberate knock on.
Wallaroos five-eighth Faitala Moleka put her side ahead with a penalty goal before Marsters wrapped it up with her pick and drive.
