Castleton gets by Lasell 3-2

Newton, MA – Junior forward Carolyn Griggs scored a pair of goals, including the game winner to lead the Castleton State College field hockey team past Lasell College 3-2 in North Atlantic Conference action.

With the win the Spartans improve to 6-2 overall and 2-0 in conference play.
