Kirsten Reilly’s 25-yard strike from a Chelsea Cornet ball 7 minutes before half time proved enough for Hibs to advance past Hearts.
Stirling University were restricted to a 2-1 victory by Glasgow Girls, Ciara Bonner’s goal direct from a corner cancelled out by Lucy McEwan before Abby Callaghan won it with 10 minutes left.

Spartans were 4-0 winners at Hamilton Academical with all the goals in the second half. Tegan Reynolds, Louise Mason and Beth Mackay (twice) hit the target, the latter win one on the rebound from Kaela McDonald-Nguah’s shot onto the crossbar.
Rangers also came away 4-0 victors at Partick Thistle, where Holly Napier, a double from Carla Boyce and a Chelsie Watson header all came before the break.
