Wadda and Demba scored their second of the game in the second half, fifth and third of the season, respectively, while Leonardo Ferreira added his first of the season with 14 minutes left in the match.
Senior Adam Holt made fives saves in the losing effort while Marco Taffe (3-0-0) and Luis Borja shared the clean sheet for Bethel, extending the Wildcats' shutout streak to 270 minutes to start the season.
