Lynden Prince and Frank Compton - the Brian Clough and Peter Taylor of the WSL - added an 8-1 statewide cup win to their opening two league victories on Saturday and will be in no rush to end the dream start.
New arrival Jessica Mccallumsmith opened her account in the demolition of Glenorchy while the goal-scoring continued for Dani Gunton, Sofie Verhaegen, Laura Dickinson and Madi Gilpin who has become a dangerous aerial weapon at set pieces. With Gilpin filling in for injured centre-back Katie Hill, Izzy Cootes slotted into defensive midfield.
United have the early kick-off on Saturday before both their Northern Championship sides host 3pm derbies with Launceston City.
The statewide outfit will be keen to continue their form into the following weekend when they take centre stage at UTAS Stadium as a curtain-raiser to the A-League fixture.
