CASTLETON, Vt. - Bennett Laderoute scored his first collegiate goal, which proved to be the game winner in a 2-0 conference victory over Lesley University.

Laderoute sent home a rebound after Ryan Hahn rocked the post in the 35th minute. The score would remain 1-0 thanks to some fine play by both keepers. Lesley's Zach Almeida-Beers (Rehoboth, Mass.) made six saves in the game, including one late in the first half to preserve the 1-0 deficit at halftime.

The Spartans nearly found themselves trailing just 6:10 into the contest when a Nicholas Pedrick (Ipswich, Mass.) shot slipped past Castleton keeper, Mike Anthony. Just as the ball was about to cross the goal line a sprinting Corey Robbins kicked the ball away to preserve to 0-0 tie.

Hahn would tack on an insurance goal in the 75th minute, after a through ball put him one-on-one with Almeida-Beers. Hahn made a slick move past the keeper and touched the ball in for his fourth goal on the season.

Anthony ended up with three saves in the shut-out victory as Castleton improves to 9-5 overall and a conference best 5-1 in the NAC. Lesley falls to 6-7-1 (3-4 NAC) with the loss.
