A dominant second-half performance gave Hearts all three points against a misfiring Aberdeen at Oriam.
Neither side could find the breakthrough during a disjointed first half, but the hosts came gunning out the traps after the restart.
Joely Andrews opened the scoring seven minutes into the second half, getting on the end of a loose ball after a penalty box tussle to drill it past Megan Sidey in the Aberdeen net.
Three minutes later Hearts made it two, as Georgia Timms was quickest to get to a deflection after a long throw-in into the Dons box.
Timms could have had a second soon afterwards, putting the ball past Sidey, but was beaten by a late offside flag.
Hearts continued to press, twice forcing Sidey into impressive saves before Sade Adamolekun wrapped things up, powering home Jess Husband’s cross low into the net.
And they could have grabbed a fourth at the death, Kayla Jardine's audacious 30 yard shot ratting the crossbar before being cleared.
