Senior Kerri Shallow started it off with a goal on a collected rebound in the 42nd. Her classmate Marisa Martinelli then made it 3-0 as she buried a crossing pass from freshman Kelly Cancelmo less than two minutes later.
In the 48th minute, senior Rachel Day tallied the final Cardinal score as she finished the feed from sophomore Alexa Guittari.
Catholic finished the day with 30 shots and put 18 of them on goal.
