RUTLAND, Vt. – Salve Regina University received four goals from four different players en route to a 4-1 win over Castleton State College Saturday afternoon in ECAC Women's East action at Spartan Arena.

Castleton has now lost five-straight and see its record dip to 6-10 overall and 5-5 in ECAC East play. Salve Regina upped its mark to 8-5-3, 4-4-2.

Shannon Coleman (Chicago, Ill.), Sarah Markey (Ashland, Mass.), Taylor Shepard (Quincy, Mass.), and Rachel Porter (Franklin, Mass.) each lit the lamp for the Seahawks, while Jade Werger (Maple Ridge, B.C.) scored Castleton's lone marker.

Coleman and Markey staked the Seahawks to an early lead, both scoring power-play goals inside the five-minute mark. Samantha Zitzer (River Forest, Ill.) laced a shot on net that Castleton goalie Katharyn Dembowski (Elkridge, Md.) turned away but Zitzer pounced on the loose puck and stuffed it home at the 2:18 mark. Markey made it 2-0 less than two minutes later, corralling a rebound off a Porter shot and potting what proved to be the game-winner.

After a scoreless second frame, Werger sliced the lead in half at the 4:59 mark of the third period, sending home her 10th goal of the season. Kaitlin Hayes (Burlington, Vt.) slid a pass in front of the net that was poked away by Seahawk goalie Rebecca Simmons (Averill Park, NY), but right onto Werger's stick for the goal.

With the Spartans on the power-play, Salve Regina snuffed out any momentum as Shepard intercepted a pass in the neutral zone and skated in for the shorthanded tally.

Porter tacked on an empty-netter with 27 seconds left to put the game on ice.

Dembowski finished with 41 saves, including 19 during a sluggish first period for the Spartans. Simmons stopped 11 shots in the win.

Castleton returns to the ice next Saturday at Saint Michael's at 1 pm.
