Saint Joseph's was led by Abbey Laney, Jordan Huntley, and Sydney Gallop, each scoring in the first half. The Monks would add two more after the break to secure the road win.
The Mariners (2-8, 0-8 GNAC) will travel for their next game, a road GNAC matchup at Elms College on Tuesday, October 14, at 7:00 p.m.
