Nearly a year after Glasgow City sent Accies out the Scottish Cup with an eleven nil thumping, the champions racked up twelve, but manager Gary Doctor said it was a completely different story to last season.
It was two apiece for Abbi Grant and Susan Fairlie, solo efforts for Clare Shine, Jo Love, Emma Black and Denise O'Sullivan, and four for Leanne Ross, but Doctor said the attitude his team showed today was night and day to 2014.
"We knew it'd be a tough task coming here, we came with only ten first team players due to injuries and holidays, meaning we had a few 17s and even 15s out there, but the attitude was great today from the girls compared to last year, and the goals that they scored are as good as you're going to get."
Accies came out ready for the City attack, and did well for the opening stages, but after only 12 Grant stabbed her shot past Elaine Fleming after Black's cross in.
Seven later the hosts made it two, Ross set up Shine inside the area whose header glanced in and on the 22nd, Fleming made a great stop on the end of a Glasgow corner, but Fairlie slipped her effort behind her before she could recover.
Courtney McAvoy brought City's Erin Cuthbert down near Accies' box just after the half hour mark, seeing Grant dummy the freekick before Ross looped her effort in brilliantly over the wall and into the near corner. 
Fairlie's thunderbolt grabbed the host's their fifth on the 38th bouncing in off the post, but two minutes later Hamilton were unlucky not to pull one back, as Megan Quinn won a freekick just inside City's half that was sent in by Amie McGill for Gillian Inglis to knock in, but the flag was up.
Love saw her strike from outside the area turn in after 63 to make it 6, and five minutes later O'Sullivan played it back to Ross to drill home the seventh. 
With twenty to go Ross turned provider for Black who got her name on the scoresheet.
Grant grabbed her second with seven to go, as Ross hit another two to make it eleven by the 90th. 
As extra time came to its close, O'Sullivan hit the visitors for one last goal, with the help of the post to bring the gap to 12.
