The win moves the Spartans to 8-2-1 overall, and 4-0 in NAC play. The loss drops Green Mountain to 0-10 on the season, with a conference record of 0-3.
The Spartans got on the board first, with Solo Felekeni taking a pass from Paul Phillips and burying it into the top corner of the goal just over the fingertips of the keeper in the 13th minute. Felekeni would waste little time finding the back of the net again, collecting a bouncing ball in the box and driving it home to give the Spartans a 2-0 lead.
Castleton held an 11-0 corner advantage in the first half, while outshooting the Eagles 26-0. The
Spartans put nine shots on net in the half.
With just over 20 minutes remaining in the game, Jake Tietgens found the back of the net to give the Spartans a 3-0 lead. Tietgens took a ball that was deflected by the keeper, collected himself, and fired a shot into the left side of the net.
The three-goal advantage would not last long, however, as Blake Hart would find the back of the net on a pass from Nihad Basic to make it 4-0 in favor of the home team. Hart ripped a shot inside the six-yard box that deflected off the keeper's fingertips and found its way into the goal.
The Spartan outburst would continue, with Glenn Devine taking a cross from the near side from Felekeni and burying it with a header inside the box to make it 5-0 with 17 minutes remaining to bring the contest to its final score.
In net for the Spartans, Amir Pasic, Dan Palker, and Aaron Parker combined for the shutout. Palker stopped three shots in the victory, while Parker made one save in his time in net. For Green Mountain, Samuel Nichols made nine saves on 14 shots, allowing five goals in the contest.
Castleton held a 44-8 shot advantage in the game, while gaining a 16-0 advantage in corner kicks.
The Spartans are back in action on Tuesday when they travel to Plymouth St. for a non-conference matchup. Game time is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
