Not much separated the two sides on the scoreboard in the first half with less than a goal, until the third quarter when the Saints came out guns blazing with three goals and kept the Cats scoreless.
They had nine scoring shots and turned a one-point deficit into a 25-point advantage.
Saints key forward Caitlin Greiser dominated with three goals, kicking two majors in the third term and one goal in the final term before the Cats managed to put through two goals to help take some confidence into the next round.
Tyanna Smith and Georgia Patrikios were both on fire.
Smith had 16 disposals, 13 tackles and 12 kicks and Patrikios continued her terrific start to this season with 17 disposals, 10 kicks and two tackles.
Patrikios, so far this season has averaged 22 disposals.
After the opening four rounds, the Cats remain winless and are at the bottom of the ladder and the Saints have a 2-2 record and their season is well and truly alive.
Carlton vs Richmond:
In a nail-biter at Ikon Park Richmond kept on coming, but Carlton held on to get their second straight victory by five points on Saturday afternoon.
It is more heartbreak for the Tigers who came out with intent in the opening quarter scoring three goals, as they kept the Blues to two points at quarter time.
After quarter time, the Blues led at every change but were challenged by a valiant Tigers side led by skipper Katie Brennan.
Darcy Vescio was integral for the Blues kicking three goals from nine disposals and Maddi Prespakis was stellar with 19 disposals, five tackles and two goals.
While for the Tigers, veteran Courtney Wakefield scored three goals along with Brennan and Tayla Stahl who kicked two goals each.
Despite, the Tigers' strong performances the last two rounds they are still yet to win in 2021 and the Blues keep their premiership hopes alive this season. ...
