Playing Valleys at Holman Oval, McNaught remained 99 not out as Morongla cruised to victory by eight wickets in chase of 164.
McNaught was well supported by Conor Crook (48) while Amy Edgar (5 not out) also kept her wicket intact.
After winning the toss and batting first Valleys started strongly, and at 2-52 at the first drinks they looked to be in control.
But Morongla piled on the pressure after the break with only 22 runs coming from the next 10 overs along with two more wickets.
Scott Wilson (42) departed and the green and golds clawed their way to 7-164 from 40 overs.
The target never looked in doubt for Morongla as McNaught and Crook steered their side to their opening win of the season with eight overs remaining.
Morongla would like to thank their sponsors, the Imperial Hotel, Quilters Coop, Datavoice Communications, Kendal Street Newsagency, Jamiesons Joinery, and also the Imperial for their hospitality after the game.
