How It Happened
After a scoreless first quarter, Castleton was able to make the board first as Ava LaRoss was able to find that back of the cage just one minute into the second stanza, helped along by Madison Gile. The Spartans extended their lead to 2-0 just six minutes later when Jess Smithson scored her first goal of the season off a Gwyn Vincent corner insert. Tacking on one more score to close out the half was Brooke Noble, who was assisted by Gile for her second helper of the day to go up 3-0.

Russell Sage finally broke through the Castleton defense to open the third quarter, bringing itself within two scores, 3-1. The Spartans were able to regain their three goal advantage in the 43rd minute as Genieve Pitts added herself to the scorers column, Castleton led 4-1 heading into the final quarter.

The Gators were looking to make it a game as they recorded their second goal of the contest at 50:33, but the Spartans put all notions of a comeback to rest as Amber Muniz scored her first-ever goal to make it 5-2 Castleton with seven minutes left on the game clock.
