Keira Dodd tallied three assists, while Eliza D'Agostino picked up three ground balls, Osborne won five draws and O'Brien caused two turnovers.

The Saints were firing on all cylinders on Sunday, as they worked to build a 4-1 and eventually 7-2 lead by the end of the first quarter. Both O'Rourke and Spaeth recorded two goals each in the opening frame.

Grace Gardner put one on the board for the Golden Flyers to start the final frame. Nazareth went 2-1 in the fourth quarter but was unable to cut into the deficit any further.

"It was a good team win," said head coach Tom Ryan. "Ruthie was strong in the draw circle. Caroline continues to impress with her relentless hustle and it was good to see her rewarded on the score sheet. Kelsey O'Brien has been great on ground balls all year and was again today."

Gardner led the Golden Flyers with three goals and two assists.

Zoe Froimovitz finished the weekend with three saves for the Saints, while Allie Klestinec made 10 for the Golden Flyers.
