The win keeps them two points clear of three-in-a-row chasing Athlone Town, who were 2-0 winners at home to Peamount United.
Athlone needed a Dana Scheriff penalty on the hour mark to break the deadlock, before captain Hannah Waesch made the points safe with her side’s second goal 13 minutes from time.
Athlone are level on 10 points with Shelbourne, who took the bragging rights from Sunday’s Dublin derby at Tolka Park thanks to a 91st-minute winner from Maeve Wollmer.
Elsewhere, Wexford picked up their first win of the season with a 4-1 win at home to struggling Cork City, with Courtney Chocol and Leah McGrath each scoring a brace, while DLR Waves were 2-0 winners at home to Sligo Rovers.
