Cataudella went 2-for-3 in the contest with one run scored, while she sparked a nine-run first inning with a three-run home run to give Albertus an early lead.

The Falcons (9-8 overall) scored nine runs on four hits and three CNR errors to take the early lead.  Paula Mancinelli (Montville, N.J.) walked in a run for the Falcons as well, while two errors and a Michelle Barillaro (Meriden, Conn.) fielder's choice also contributed to the Falcons' run tally.
