Box Score CASTLETON, Vt. - October 19, 2013 - The Colby-Sawyer men's soccer team was shutout at Castleton, 3-0 in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) action Saturday night. 

BOX SCORE

The Chargers drop to 8-6 overall and 4-3 in the NAC, while the Spartans improve to 10-2-2 and 5-1-1 in conference play. Colby-Sawyer will look to snap a two game skid with a home contest on Tuesday against New England College.

Justin Hepburn finished the game with a goal and an assist while Nate Koenemann made three saves on his way to the win in net. His Colby-Sawyer counterpart Nick Austin made four saves in the loss.

Castleton started the scoring with a tally in the 41st minute. Blake Hart camped out in the middle of the box before receiving a line-drive cross from Hepburn. The forward held off a Charger defender and directed a header toward the bottom left corner that beat the keeper and put Castleton up 1-0.

Just 2:08 later, the Chargers fell victim to a handball in the box, allowing a Spartan penalty kick. Dameon Young stepped up to the 12-yard spot and drilled the ball top shelf to the keeper's right, putting the Spartans up 2-0 just before the halftime break.

In the second frame, the Spartans added their third goal. Justin Hepburn stepped up on an offensive charge, coming out of the back on a run. He was able to beat a defender and ripped a shot that glanced off another Charger defender and slipped into the top corner, extending the Castleton lead to 3-0.
