MIDDLEBURY, Vt. - Freshman Jared Docking scored 3 minutes and 19 seconds into overtime to lift Plattsburgh State to a 3-2 victory Saturday at Middlebury College in the NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey Championship Quarterfinals. The nationally No. 5-ranked Cardinals (19-5-4) advance to the National Semifinals in Lake Placid on Friday. The host Panthers end their season at 19-5-4.  BOXSCORE

Middlebury forced the extra time by overcoming a 2-0 deficit in the second period. Ken Suchoski closed the gap to 2-1 at 16:06 of the second and Jak Knelman got the equalizer on the power play at the 12:59 mark in the third.

Plattsburgh's mild upset of the No. 4 Panthers was set up by a face-off win in the Middlebury zone. Kyle Kudroch won the draw back to the left point where the puck was shot toward the net. Docking took a pass from Kyle Taylor and got off two shots before knocking in his own rebound for just his third goal of the season.

Kudroch and Taylor also teamed up to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead at the midpoint in the first period. Kudroch netted his team-leading 14th on the year.

Dylan Clarke made it 2-0 midway through the second with an unassisted goal, his 12th this season.

Vick Schlueter nearly gave Plattsburgh an insurance goal early in the third period, but was stymied by a glove save from John Yanchek. The Cardinals also had several more high-quality scoring chances only to see Yancheck make save-after-save to keep Middlebury within striking distance.

Freshman Josh Leis made 21 saves for the Cardinals, improving to 9-3-3. Yancheck finished with 28 stops.
