CASTLETON, Vt. – The Castleton field hockey team dropped their season finale on Wednesday evening by a final score of 6-2 to Rensselaer in a rain-soaked contest.

The loss puts the Spartans at 4-12 on the season, while RPI improves to 10-6 with the victory.

Sarah Wells tallied her team-leading eighth goal of the year in the win, while Hannah Williams scored her first career goal in the game. Meeghan Doris stopped 10 shots in the game, marking the 11th time this season she has recorded double-digit saves.

Castletlon got on the board first, when Emily Hudson got out on a breakaway for the Spartans and found Wells in front to give her team a 1-0 lead just three minutes into the contest. The Engineers would answer right back, however, when Jena Nawfel found Hana Murphy to tie the game at 1-1 just four minutes later, a score that would hold until the break.

Coming out of the half deadlocked at 1-1, Castleton struck again just nine minutes in when Williams found a rebound off of a shot from Wells and slotted it past the RPI goalie to give the Spartans a 2-1 lead. Once again, RPI had an answer, drawing a penalty stroke in the shooting circle less than a minute later. Celia D'Agostino stepped up and drove a shot past Doris into the upper-left side to draw the game even at 2-2.

RPI would take the momentum from the penalty stroke goal and parlay it into four more goals to close out the game, with Mekayla Wakeman scoring twice, and Colleen Fowler and Jane Edgington scoring once each. D'Agostino finished the game with two assists to go along with her goal, while Nawfel also talled a pair of assists for RPI.

Doris stopped 10 of the 16 shots she faced on the day, while Engineers' goalie Rachel Kaufman stopped 10 of the 12 shots that she saw in the game.

Rensselaer outshot the Spartans 33-16 on the day, while holding an advantage in penalty corners 11-4.
