PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - Oneonta topped the Plattsburgh State women's basketball team 62-41 in a State University of New York Athletic Conference game held on the Cardinals home court. The Red Dragons move up to 11-6 on the year, 9-1 in the SUNYAC, while Plattsburgh drops to 2-14 overall, 0-10 in conference play.

The second half continued along much of the same path, with Oneonta topping out at a 24-point advantage with 12 minutes left to play. The Cardinals cut that down to 15 just six minutes later, but the Red Dragons refused to relent and continued their offense charge for the win.
