The recent cancellation of rounds in AWFA meant the Greens' lead at the top had become unassailable and this result leaves them 21 points clear of the pack.
United have won all 11 of their league games so far and coach Tony Cigana has urged his players not to take their foot off the gas.
"We want to go through and win all our games and we want to get into the cup final," he said.
"That's our biggest goal.
"We haven't been in one for quite a few years, it's always been Albury City and Boomers, so hopefully it's our turn now."
Saturday night's game at Jelbart Park burst into action with three goals in four first-half minutes.
Molly Goldsworthy's near-post volley was quickly cancelled out by Isabella Pasquali, who matched great persistence down the left with a handy finish to draw the Devils level.
However, Paula Mitchell's deep cross was bundled in by Goldsworthy at the other end before Mitchell made it 3-1 with a terrific half-volley.

Goldsworthy completed a hat-trick in the second half and Mitchell doubled her tally, with Allanah Seary also hitting the scoresheet.
Wangaratta converted a late penalty but the champions were comfortable.
"We lost the league a couple of years ago and we redeemed ourselves this year," Cigana said.
"The inclusion of Paula Mitchell has made a huge difference and she's lifted everyone around her."
