Southampton Women can still finish as runners-up in Division 1 South West, after a 4-0 victory at Poole Town.
They had to wait until the second half for the breakthrough, Brittany Jeal then bagging a brace, Lucy Mear and Hannah Samuels adding one each.
Southampton Women must win their last two games and increase their goal difference by at least nine to be able to take second spot from AFC Bournemouth.
