ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Despite missing half of its starting back line, the Plattsburgh State men's soccer team played valiantly on Friday and held host Oneonta off the scoreboard in a 0-0 draw at Red Dragon Field. The Cardinals now stand at 8-2-2 overall, including 3-1-1 in the State University of New York Athletic Conference, while the Red Dragons sport records of 8-3-1 and 3-2-1 in the conference.

The Cardinals defense did its job by limiting Oneonta to just two shots on goal and eight total.  Jonathan Korn of the Red Dragons was the busiest of the two goalkeepers, stopping eight shots.  Plattsburgh freshman Andy Heighington made two saves for his third career shutout.

Plattsburgh had the best chances to win in the two overtime periods, outshooting Oneonta 4-2 for the last 20 minutes.

Plattsburgh also won the shootout 8-7, which is used as a year-end tiebreaker between the teams to determine seedings for the SUNYAC Tournament.  The Cardinals converted all eight penalty-kick attempts, including John Martin's last shot to end the last round that came after Heighington made a save off the foot of Larry Pestana.
