Hamilton United Elite moved into a tie for second place in the women’s League1 Ontario table with a 5-nil win over visiting North Mississauga SC on Friday night.

Captain Angela Cutaia (54', 81', 88') led the way with a hat-trick for the hosts, who are now level on 15 points with Durham United FA.

Hamilton enjoyed the majority of the possession in the first half, but struggled to break through a determined Mississauga defence.

Mississauga keeper Anna Maclean did well to keep her side in the match with several brave clearances, including a fantastic double stop in the 17th minute.

The hosts were finally rewarded for their pressure just before the half-hour, when Lauren DiPietro (27') beat Maclean with a low strike to put Hamilton up 1-nil.

Hamilton doubled their lead just three minutes after the re-start, when a cross into the box was put in for an own goal by a Mississauga defender on a failed clearance.

After that stroke of fortune, Hamilton kept piling on the pressure and put the game away through the ever-influential Cutaia, who scored three consecutive goals to increase her season total to seven (trailing only FC London's Jade Kovacevic).
