CASTLETON, Vt. - Mekayla Wakeman scored twice and Celia D'Agostino had a goal and two assists to lead the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) field hockey team to a 6-2 win over Castleton in the Engineers' final road game of the season. RPI improves to 10-6, while the Spartans fall to 4-12.

Trailing 2-1 in the second half, the Engineers rattled off five consecutive goals to win for the fourth time in their last five games. After the Spartans broke a 1-1 tie with a goal in the 45th minute, D'Agostino tied the game 1:19 later on a penalty stroke marker and Colleen Fowler put the visitors ahead for the first time, off an assist from D'Agostino, under four minutes later. 

Wakeman's first of the game, also set up by D'Agostino, came in the 54th minute and Jane Edgington made it a 5-2 score six minutes later. Jena Nawfel earned her second assist of the game on Edgington's goal. Wakeman finished the scoring in the 69th minute with Edgington getting the assist. Both of Wakeman's goals came from penalty corners.

Castletlon got on the board first, when Emily Hudson got out on a breakaway for the Spartans and found Sarah Wells in front for a 1-0 lead just three minutes into the contest. The Engineers answered right back when Nawfel found Hana Murphy to tie the game at 1-1 just four minutes later, a score that would hold until the break.
 
Coming out of the half deadlocked at 1-1, Castleton struck again just nine minutes in when Hannah Williams found a rebound off of a shot from Wells and slotted it past the RPI goalie to give the Spartans a 2-1 lead. Once again, RPI had an answer, drawing the penalty stroke in the shooting circle less than a minute later. D'Agostino stepped up and drove a shot past Meeghan Doris into the upper-left side to draw the game even at 2-2.
 
RPI would take the momentum from the penalty stroke goal and parlay it into four more goals to close out the game.
 
Doris stopped 10 of the 16 shots she faced on the day, while Engineers' goalie Rachel Kaufman stopped 10 of the 12 shots that she saw in the game.
 
Rensselaer outshot the Spartans 33-16 on the day, while holding an advantage in penalty corners 11-4.

The Engineers close out the season on Saturday against Oneonta at Harkness Field (1pm).
