The game winning goal came from Signe Novak in the 52nd minute when she knocked a loose ball just inside the right post from the left side of the penalty area. Brittany White added an insurance goal in the 66th minute. Catholic seniors Tara Bailes and Anne Prenger were superb in the final game of their Irish careers.
