The local youngsters won all five matches in their qualifier at the Walsall campus of Wolverhampton University where they scored a remarkable 131 goals in only 100 minutes of action.
Shooters Charlotte Preston and Shannon Westwood were unstoppable while centre Harriet Gill also stood out.
Oldham are joined in the final at Loughborough University on May 30 by Essex-based Star and Poole.

They defeated North Kent and Parkside, who beat them in last year’s final, in their qualifying group.
Oldham under-19s don’t compete in their national event until later in the year.
