Jennifer Knopp converted with 10 minutes left in the opening half on a 25-yard low blast to the left corner.
Jasmine Whitely swiped the ball from a defender and cranked a 25-yarder under the bar in the 80th minute. Eileen Fox made a few saves for the shutout.

In other first division play, Peacock Sheridan Group (PSG) of Kelowna shut down Salmon Arm Glenn Power 3-0 at MacDonald Park.
Midfielder Steph Taylor converted a great through ball from Mel Shannon giving the Reds a 1-0 lead at 10 minutes.
To generate some offence and sustained pressure, PSG moved defender and 11-year veteran Steph Conti into the middle beside Taylor which allowed Shannon to push up and attack.
Taylor found Shannon 10 minutes into the second half for a low shot, far post. Leanne Avdich then pushed a long through ball in to Shannon, who beat two defenders before walking around the keeper for further insurance.
Stopper Beccs Wipfli, sweeper Caitlin Schmid and Player of the Game Nicole Berns, a defender who shut down the right side, recorded bold showings. Jenn Knourek made some key saves in the first half for the shutout.
In Masters play, Rosters brushed back Season Sistas 4-1 Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4.
Becky McLennan and Christy Wright each supplied two goals for Rosters, who kept pressure on the Sistas with great movement, hard work from the midfield and stellar wheels from fullback Denise Bateman.
Veteran Andrea Zubot spoiled Amanda Smiley’s shutout bid in the final minute. Newbie Wendy Bueckert sent a free kick from centre to Diane Neudorf, who fed a through ball to Zubot, whose low shot just beat a diving Smiley left corner.
With no subs for her tireless legs, Tammy Buick ran like the wind down the flank for the Sistas. Melanee Skinner was steady on defence, consistently heading the ball out of trouble.
For the second game in a row, Squires Four Pub allowed the opposition to score the first goal of the game and then stormed back, this time grounding the Chick Kickers 3-1 at Marshall #2.
The Kickers scored in the fifth minute when midfielder Kelly Challen made a great run to the left corner and dished off to Jen Sorochuck, who turned and laid out a sweet pass to Jen Kemper, who went top cheddar on a 25-yard corker into the wind.
Barb Levesque levelled the score off a corner just before halftime.
After keeper Robyn Sherwood had to leave the game because of a leg injury, replacement Michelle Johnson kept the Kickers moving with some booming goal kicks. Holly Flinkman replaced Johnson in net for the second half with Johnson striking the crossbar on a fabulous 20-yard free kick.
Irene Arrotta put Squires in front off a free kick five minutes into the second half, followed by Levesque on a header after a great cross from Deanna Baker.
Marisa Weibe was solid in the Squires midfield as Cindy Worth filled in for an injured Bobbi Cormier at centre defence.
