Regan added her second goal with just 34 seconds left to give Catholic a 10-3 halftime lead.

Another 5-0 run midway through the second half increased the Cardinals lead to 16-5 with 16:52 to play in the second before back-to-back tallies by Beck and sophomore Lauren Zelnik provided the final margin.

A total of seven Cardinals registered their first goal of the season, including freshman Grace Hill who netted the first of her career.
