Cora Staunton in attack for GWS Giants.
Cora Staunton starred as GWS Giants defeated St Kilda 45-25 to record just their third victory of the AFLW season.
The former Mayo star and her fellow forward colleague Rebecca Privitelli bagged a hat-trick of goals each as the Giants ran out 20-point winners in the Round 7 clash at a rain-soaked RSEA Park.
39-year-old Staunton and Privitelli were St Kilda's tormentors in chief, they helped the Giants to a four-goal to none first quarter lead.
