Box Score CASTLETON, Vt. – Sophomore
Jake Leclaire scored his sixth goal of the
season to take a 1-0 early second half lead before the Castleton
State Spartans (6-4-0) pulled ahead in the second half of play to
serve a 2-1 loss to the Cadets (4-5-1) on Wednesday night.
With a direct kick 18 yards out from the Spartans net, freshman
William Flanagan served a well placed ball in the
box to a well-positioned Leclaire who was there to
net a header goal and give the Cadets a one-goal advantage in the
first couple minutes of the second half. The Spartans rebounded the
action with two goals minutes apart in the 76th and
78th minute of the game.
As Castleton outshot Norwich 15-6, Cadets' freshman
goalkeeper Alex Toomey earned four saves in his
90-minutes of playing time.
Norwich returns to action on Saturday with a noon-time game
versus the Emmanuel Saints. Following up the action at Emmanuel
will be the Cadets women's soccer squad, kicking off shortly
after at 3 p.m.
