The home side always looked in control of the clash and jumped out to a 10-goal lead early in the second term.
That lead had stretched out to the final margin of 21 goals prior to three quarter-time after shooter Kate Gibson starred under the net to earn the player-of-the-match for her sterling shooting efforts.
The Cavs’ better showing on Saturday night comes eight nights after something of a dramatic fall away to co-tenants Northern Hawks in a top-of-the-table defeat.
The Hawks have again proved to be the team to beat this year in the State League, taking the victory over Cripps Waratah 74-59 in Hobart.
But the visitors were made to earn it, holding onto slender four, two and five-goal margins at each of the changes.
But goalie Ashlea Mawer fought off double teaming from Cripps to power away in the dying minutes with a 23-goal last quarter.
Top efforts from Gemma Poke and Zoe Claridge complimented a stellar game from Stephanie Walker.

The day I realised I wasn't good enough to play for St Kilda or be the No.1 spinner for Australia was when I realised journalism was the closest I could come to follow my passion for sport. And it's not just about the scores for me. It's the back story behind the game.
