ASHLAND, VA – Two first half goals by Mary Swarthout proved to be all Catholic would need as the Cardinals knocked off the Randolph-Macon Field Hockey team 5-0 Sunday afternoon in Ashland.

Swarthout put CUA (3-0) on the board just under 18 minutes into the game. She then doubled the Cardinals lead a little over 11 minutes later when she scored to put CUA up 2-0.

The game remained that way until 45:50 mark when Catherine Mirsky was awarded a penalty stroke and converted the chance to extend the Cardinal lead to 3-0.

CUA held a 16-9 edge in shots, while each team earned five penalty corners on the afternoon.

R-MC's (0-3) Nicole Woodworth made nine stops in the cage for the Yellow Jackets.

The Jackets will return to action next Saturday when it will take on Juniata at the Salisbury Tournament. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m.
