Hide AdDoncaster made the better start but it wasn't until the 21st minute when Ellie O'Neill intercepted a poor pass out of the Didsbury defence that the game changed.
She found Dias in the D who turned away from two defenders to fire an excellent reverse shot across the goalkeeper.
Doncaster won the ball back straight from the re-start and excellent link-up play by O'Neill and Dias found Dodds who scored at the second attempt.
Moments later it was 3-0 from a short corner when Woods was on hand to lift the ball over the goalkeeper after captain Hannah Rockliff's shot was saved.
