The women's premier division match opened in a frantic pace, with both sides kicking opening quarter goals - as the host led by two points at the first change.
Geoff Gibbs' Tigers then extended their lead to 10 points at half-time.
But the black and golds' defensive pressure stepped up a notch in the second half, not allowing the visitors to kick any goals while booting for themselves - as they ran away with a 33-point win.
In the Tigers' fifth win of the season, Tiffany Weynberg (two), Sophie Phillips, Lily Macdonald, Nikki Murray, Emma Dempsey and Nayana Patmore kicked goals.
Others to produce strong performances for the Tigers, who next face Northern Districts at Hollymount Oval, were Rhianna Nelson, Jess Wardale, India Patmore and Rose Hughes.

In the loss, Rhys Arnold (two), Andrew Lee (two), James McDonald and Adriaan Toms booted majors as Charlie Rodden, Courtney Ward, Tom Nichols and Luke McCann also played well.
