Mallory Costello, Bronwen Hopwood, Kiley Baran and Eva Clark all chipped in goals, as the Spartans captured their third straight victory to improve to 6-5 overall and 4-0 in the NAC. Green Mountain, meanwhile, falls to 0-7 (0-3 NAC) with the loss.
Costello opened the scoring in the 14th minute when the senior attacker gathered the ball just outside
the box before dribbling towards goal and slipping a shot past the keeper and into the bottom right corner of the net.
Just over ten minutes later, Baran extended the lead to 2-0. Clark delivered a pass to Baran in the middle of the box, and the sophomore attacker finished a bouncing effort just inside the near post in the 25th minute of action.
With just over one minute left in the first half, Hopwood netted her third score of the year to push the Castleton advantage to three. The freshman forward received the ball near the endline before dribbling past a defender and into the box. She then delivered a right-footed shot that clipped the crossbar and bounced into the back of the net, making it 3-0 in favor of the hosts.
The Spartans opened the second half firing, with four shots, including three on target, before Clark tallied her third score of the season. After Shelby McLenithan slipped a pass to Costello near the far post Costello crossed the ball to Clark, who headed it home for the fourth score of the day.
Junior Jessica Binkowski picked up her sixth win of the year after producing her third shutout with three saves. Kim Simonetti (Salem, Mass.) took the loss for Green Mountain despite making 11 saves in 90 minutes of play.
The Eagles will next host Southern Vermont on Wednesday in non-conference action with first touch scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
