Doherty was one of five players who scored in double figures for Catholic. Senior Luca Mamula had 13 points off the bench while senior Amanda Johnson added 12, sophomore Molly Aromando had 11 and junior Amelia Baldo scored 10.

Led by seven first-quarter points from Johnson, the Cardinals jumped out to a 17-2 lead in the game's first five minutes and led 23-5 after the first quarter. They never trailed and led for all but 57 seconds.

Doherty added nine second-quarter points while Mamula had seven. The duo combined for 24 first-half points with Doherty totaling 13 in 14 first-half minutes as Catholic led 50-30 at the break.
