Castleton, VT - The Castleton State College field hockey team received goals from four different players and improved to a perfect 3-0 in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) play with a 4-1 win over Husson University Saturday afternoon at Spartan Stadium.

Castleton opened the scoring in the 14th minute of play on Marie Amaral's (Barre, VT) third goal of the season. Stephanie Paproski (Newtown, CT) set up the goal with a perfect cross on a two-on-one. Amaral took the pass and ripped a shot into the top left corner of the goal.

Freshman Kealy Chipman (Bellows Falls, VT) made it 2-0 just over seven minutes into the second half, converting a direct pass from Heather Brock (Bow, NH) into her fifth collegiate goal. Less than two minutes later the Eagles cut the lead in half as Courtney Allen (Gardner, ME) converted a Kajsa Blindow (Morgan, VT) assist.

After a Castleton timeout, the Spartans were able to convert two unanswered goals to put the game away. Molly Fraher (Goshen, CT) rifled a shot into the bottom left corner for her fourth of the season and Sarah Flore (Springfield, VT) squeaked one past Husson goalie Kristen
Capen (Leeds, ME) to round out the scoring.

Siobhan Whittemore (Springfield, VT) started in goal for the Spartans and stopped the lone shot that came her way in the first half. Bridget Dusha (Greenwich, NY) finished the final 35 minutes of play, stopping four shots, including two during a flurry by Husson that produced five-straight shots.

Capen made nine saves in the loss for the 1-4 (1-2 NAC) Eagles.

Husson will travel to University of Maine-Farmington on October 7 for a 4:00 pm NAC affair.
