The Bulldogs dominated the hosts from the get-go to post a 5-1 win at Ballinger Park, firming their hold on third place on the NPL women's table.
Former Matildas star Larissa Crummer again led the charge with a goal in each half for the Bulldogs, taking her season's tally to nine league goals in just eight appearances.
Midfielder Anna Margraf opened the scoring for the Bulldogs shortly before the half-hour in a player of the match performance from the Brisbane Roar W-League star.

Crummer's first then ensured a two-goal advantage at the break before second half goals to Amy Chapman and captain Billie Murphy effectively wrapped up the win prior to the hour.
The Wanderers found small consolation ten minutes from time through Raelle Avery, before Crummer struck again to seal the final result.
The result means the Bulldogs need just one more point to formally secure their position in the top half of the table ahead of the mid-season split.
They now turn their attentions to a tricky mid-week away clash with defending Premiers Gold Coast United on Wednesday night.
The Bulldogs men's side also return to action this weekend following the mid-season break, when they look to avenge their opening round loss to the Wanderers on Sunday at Max Haynes Field.
