The Golden Eagles are now 4-5-1 on the year and 3-2 in the Skyline Conference while the Privateers sit at 4-6-0 and slide to a 1-2 in conference play.
The rally started early in the first half for the Golden Eagles, when Joann Murino scored her second goal of the season at the five minute mark when she received a cross at the penalty spot from Claire Brady to take the 1-0 lead. Brady then quickly added to the lead when she buried a shot in the right corner to double the score 2-0.

Brady took the corner for the Golden Eagles and found Kristin Carroll in the box, who would flicked the ball towards goal where Chelsea Bellini was able to chip in the third goal of the contest in the 23rd minute.
St. Joseph's continued to dominate the game and created an opportunity for Shannon Kennedy to score her first goal as Golden Eagle when she recovered the ball in the 36th minute and chiped it past the keeper. Kennedy continued the rally, burying a cross from Kathryn Condron in the closing minutes of the first half to take a commanding 5-0 lead.
