The clinical 105-39 victory on Saturday afternoon was two goals more than the round 4 clash last season.
It continues the Hawks' run of blasting weakened oppositions off the court, passing the century five times from 2018 including 110 against Devon that year.
Only AYC-Friends Arrows at the height of their powers have achieved that feat once.
Hawks star shooter Ashlea Mawer, who has topped the 1000-goal mark each of the past three seasons, landed 84 on target from 91 attempts.
Cavaliers last week scored 94 goals on Devon while still conceding just the 16 goals.
But Hawks co-coach Ruth Tuohy was not concerned, suggesting the best waves of attack came from defence.
"Ideally, when you score high, every second ball is going to be an opportunity to turn a ball over," she said.
"It's really great to watch different combinations work well and where potentially we have any gaps to cover.
"You really don't score 105 without turning a fair bit of ball from the back."

Tessa Coote and Hannah Lenthall combined strongly from the defensive third to create plenty of long balls.
But it worked both ways.
While Danni Pickett was named player-of-the-match in part for her 21 goals from 24 shots, Mawer had earned praise from the co-coach for the defensive hands on ball.
"Our attackers are contributing a lot more to being that first line of defence, as well - it is something else that we're learning," Tuohy said.
Not to be outdone, Grace Close definitely maximised her goal opportunities.
The Devon shooter missed just once from 27 attempts.
Teenagers Kendall Jones and Lauren Spencer earned court time on the wings for Hawks that Tuohy believed made the best of new rule changes on the rolling subs.
"We'll use certain games where we work out different combinations and we're getting used to rollings subs. It hasn't been a part of our game style but we're getting a lot better at it," she said.
"It was a great opportunity to put two 19s on court for a significant amount of time."
