Box Score
Sunday's contest marked the first of seven away from home for the Blue Streaks, who are not scheduled to return to Shula Stadium as a host of a game until October 8.
JCU held a slight edge in shots (17-16) and were even in shots on goal (7-7), but the Spartans converted on two goals in both the first and second half to roll to its fourth win in as many matches.
The match was delayed for almost 90 minutes in the second half due to lightning.
JCU is now 1-4 this season.
