Field Hockey Throttles Westfield State, 8-1

WESTFIELD, Mass. – The Castleton field hockey team scored in each quarter for the second game in a row, knocking down Westfield State, 8-1, on Saturday evening.

Emily Harris collected her eighth career hat trick with three goals and two assists, while Kaitlin Bardellini put in a pair of scores with a helper. Chance Jaquin tallied career goal number five while Haley Corlew scored for the first time this season. Peyton Richardson handed out an assist and collected her second score of the year in the contest's waning moments. Haley Lassen rounded out the point-scorers with a third-quarter assist for her first career point.

The Spartans (9-7, 7-3 LEC) overpowered the Owls (9-7, 6-4 LEC) on offense early and often, more than tripling the home team's on-target shot count, 19-6. Defensively, freshman Zoe Martin saved five of six shots on goal compared to Westfield State's 11-for-19 night between the posts.

Harris lit up the scoreboard in a hurry, receiving a pass from Richardson and scoring the night's first goal just two minutes in. The Spartans punished the Owl goal with five on-target shots before the Crondall, England native struck again in the 11th minute, giving the visitors a 2-0 advantage after the opening period.

Martin saw her first save opportunities in the second quarter and converted on both chances. Bardellini snapped a cold streak in the box score, hammering a setup from Harris to extend the gap to three. Two awry Owl shots kept the Spartan lead untouched into halftime.

Castleton sent a blitz early in the second half as Bardellini narrowly missed another score but opened the door for Haley Corlew to smash home the Spartans' fourth goal. The squads continued to trade drives until Jaquin took a penalty corner, then finished off the possession with a goal set up by Lassen. The Owls got one back with 17 ticks left in the period as Leah Pierce narrowed the score to 5-1.

Hannah Frittenburg started the fourth quarter in goal for the Spartans but would not face any on-target shots. Instead, the relentless Castleton offense stacked scores from Bardellini, Harris (completing the hatty), and Richardson to drop the Owls, 8-1.

The Spartans wrap up their slate of home contests on Tuesday, October 25 with a 7 p.m. date with Keene State.
