Erin Bloomfield assisted on two of the four first-half goals and scored two minutes into the second half with a strike from the edge of the box to make it 5-0.
Chloe Gilroy then scored a hat trick in half an hour.
She headed home a cross from 53rd-minute substitute Molly Gladwell after 56 minutes, then converted another Gladwell cross eight minutes later.
Four minutes from time, he completed his hat trick by avoiding the offside trap and finishing beautifully with a lofted attempt from about 20 yards.
