Okoronkwo opened the scoring in the 35th minute at Stade Boréale, curling a beautiful shot from outside the box for her third of the season.

Regan made it 2-0 in the 73rd with a shot off the crossbar and in for Toronto (3-2-1), which is unbeaten in four games.

Montreal (3-2-1) has lost two straight after falling 1-0 to Calgary Wild FC last time out.
