Cardinals Tame the Thoroughbreds

Docking Scores Career-High Four Assists

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - Kyle Kudroch scored the first two goals of the night for the nationally-ranked no. 2 Plattsburgh State men's hockey team against Skidmore in the first period after receiving the puck from Jared Docking. The Cardinal would go on to win the contest by a solid six-point margin, 9-3, raising the team's record to 10-2-3 for the season. The Thoroughbreds drop to 5-8-0 overall. BOXSCORE

In between Kudroch's two goals, Matt Czerkowski placed one in the back of the net for Skidmore. Chris Webb earned the assist on the play. Both team's solid in the first and the score remained 2-1 entering the break.

Plattsburgh opened up its lead during the second period, with Kyle VanDermale scoring just under 13 minutes into play with help from Patrick Jobb and Dan Sliasis. He was followed six minutes later by Sliasis, assisted by Matty MacLeod, and Chris Wieland scored another goal for the Cards, unassisted, with just under two minutes left to play in the period. Wieland's goal put the Cardinals ahead 5-1.

Kyle Taylor scored his second goal of the season 1:15 into the third period. Docking and Kudroch provided him with the puck. Meanwhile, both MacLeod and Ryan Corry scored their first goals of the season soon after. Willock and Eric Satim provided the assists on MacLeod's goal, while Willock also got the puck to Corry and scored Plattsburgh's final goal three minutes later with help from Dylan Clarke and Cody Adams.

Skidmore started to rally back after Raphy Rossy replaced Ryan Williams in goal for Plattsburgh. Both Brendan Cottam and Sasha Thomas scored for the Thoroughbreds, while Hunter Thayer dished out an assist to Cottam and Joe Melnyk and Julian Malakorn helped out Thomas. It turned out to be too little too late, however, and the Cardinals skated off with the win.

In goal for Skidmore, John Bienkowski made 39 saves and allowed nine goals in 60 minutes played. For Plattsburgh, Williams racked up 11 saves and allowed one goal in his 46 minutes and 27 seconds between the pipes and Rossy recorded three saves and two goals allowed to close out the game.
