CASTLETON, Vt. – The Castleton women's soccer team continued their North Atlantic Conference winning streak on Saturday afternoon, clinching the top seed in the conference with a 4-1 win over Husson at Spartan Stadium.

The win moves the Spartans to 10-7 overall, with a perfect 8-0 record in NAC play. Husson falls to 6-9-1 with the loss, including a 3-5 record in conference action.

Mallory Costello tallied six points in the game for the Spartans, scoring two goals and recording two assists in the victory. Eva Clark and Bronwen Hopwood scored the other goals for Castleton, while Bri DiPhilippo recorded an assist.

The first half was all Castleton, with Clark opening the scoring on a pass from Costello in the fourth minute to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead. Costello doubled that lead in the 27th minute, driving a penalty kick into the bottom left corner of the goal to give her team a 2-0 advantage. Costello struck again in the 34th minute, taking a long lead pass from DiPhillipo and sliding it beyond the Eagles' keeper to give the Spartans a 3-0 lead going into the break.

The second half remained scoreless for more than 25 minutes, before Costello carried the ball up the right side to the end line and sending a cross into the box that was buried by Hopwood in front to extend the Spartan lead to four goals.

The Eagles got on the board in the 86th minute, when Taylor Fortin took a pass from Brooke Labelle and ripped a shot from 20 yards out over the fingertips of Castleton keeper Jessica Binkowski to give the game its final score of 4-1.

Binkowski stopped six shots in the victory, while Kayla Gordon made five saves for the Eagles. The Spartans controlled play for the majority of the game, outshooting the Eagles 20-10.
