WELLESLEY, Mass. - Facing Babson for a second consecutive Saturday, the Castleton men's hockey team fell 6-1 at Babson Skating Center.
 
The game got off to a fast-paced start. Midway through the first period, Cory Ellerton was called for hooking and Babson (2-0) saw the first power play opportunity of the game. Nick Rosa snuck a wrister past the glove hand of Brandon Collett to give the Beavers an early 1-0 lead. Collett registered 14 saves in the opening session as Babson outshot Castleton (0-2) 15-8.
 
Just over four minutes into the second period, Ryan Black extended Babson's lead. Rosa was credited with an assist to earn a multi-point performance. The Spartans' deficit grew to three as Chris Rooney found the back of the net just a few minutes later.
 
Glenn Wiswell scored Castleton's first goal of the season in the final seconds of the period off a feed from Anton Tarvainen. Wiswell's tally cut the Babson lead to 3-1 as the well-acquainted foes headed into the second intermission. It marked the 30th of the senior captain's career. With one more goal, he'll be the program's 10th all-time leading goal scorer. 
 
In the final frame, the Beavers netted a trio of goals, including a second for Black.
 
Collett made 38 saves in his second start of the season. Kyle Alaverdy assumed netminding duties in the final 10 minutes and stopped all four shots sent his way. Frequenting the box, the teams combined for 16 penalties. 
 
Castleton is scheduled to travel to Albertus Magnus on Friday, February 12.
