Catholic scored just 8:08 into the game and again in the 51st and 67th minutes to put SU in the 3-0 hole.
The Crusaders' made it a two-goal game when Brandon Jackson scored off a quick pass from Ryan Cronin inside the six-yard box. Four minutes later, Paul Siekmann scored the second SU goal from a pass by Thomas Burke.
