CORTLAND, N.Y.--Matt Hamilton scored the game-winning goal just 1 minute and 27 seconds into overtime to lift the Plattsburgh State men's soccer team to a thrilling 1-0 sudden-victory Saturday over host Cortland at Red Dragon Stadium. The Cardinals (8-2-1 overall, 2-2 SUNYAC) hand the Red Dragons (4-6-1) their first conference loss in three State University of New York Athletic Conference starts.

Plattsburgh dominated the first half by outshooting Cortland 8-0. Then the Red Dragons turned the tables in the second by a 9-4 margin. The Cardinals finished the game with advantages in shots (14-9) and corner kicks (5-3).

Andy Heighington made four saves to earn his seventh shutout of the season and 16th of his second-year career.
