Getting on the scoreboard early allowed Olympians to play the game on their own terms and add to their lead as the game rolled on.
Interim Olympians coach Gary Littlejohns said the victory was set up by the side's younger players.
"I think the youngsters really stepped up, which was great to see," Littlejohns told the Leader.
"Our more experienced players are super consistent, but to see some of our younger players like; Kate Reynolds, Flo Davidson and Ash Chaffey stand up was excellent."

Littlejohns said the side's strong midfield performances was "helping them build their self confidence".
"All of our goals came about as a result of strong teamwork and not individual brilliance," he said.
"Our midfield was really strong and our out-letting from defence was great.
"While I am only an interim coach, the team has improved markedly throughout the season. Especially their passing game, it has been great lately."
At the halfway point of the season, Olympians find themselves in the middle of the premiership ladder.
However, Littlejohns said the team would continue to push for a finals berth.
"I think their self confidence has really grown in recent weeks and the desire to play finals is certainly there," he said.
"Over the next few weeks we will be working hard on doing whatever we can to help us get there."
