Another busy day on the campus of SUNY Plattsburgh led to two wins for its two major winter sports squads. Plattsburgh State women’s hockey, ranked No. 6 in the NCAA Division III USCHO poll, took care of business at home with a 4-0 shutout victory over Buffalo State. The Cardinals scored two goals apiece in the first period and third period. Kayson Ruegge netted the first goal after a shot from Mattie Norton deflected off Ruegge’s stick. Tessa Morris then added another off a rebound goal to end the first period with a 2-0 margin. Mae Olshanksy and Kate Conlon tacked on two more in the final period, giving Plattsburgh its third win in its last four games. On the hardwood, Plattsburgh State prevailed in a narrow 54-52 win over Clarkson University. The match had 10 lead changes, but an Imani Walcott and-one layup and some key defensive stops by the Cardinals in the fourth quarter led to Plattsburgh’s third victory of the season, with all three of its wins coming at home. Walcott led the Plattsburgh scoring with 13 points while playing a pivotal role on the defensive end with three blocks, four steals and eight rebounds. Jaden Wilson and Lauren LaFountain made timely triples from beyond the arc, both making two 3-pointers, leading to eight points from each of them. See the highlights from both teams in the video above, voiced by NBC 5’s Noah Cierzan.
