PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – Three Cardinals tallied multiple points to lead the Plattsburgh State men’s hockey team to a 5-1 win over nationally-ranked No. 6 Williams in a non-conference game at the Stafford Ice Arena.

Williams cut the Plattsburgh lead to 2-1 at the 8:17 mark on a power play goal from Connor Olvany.  Matt Masucci and Ben Contini assisted on Olvany’s eighth of the year.

The rest of the evening was all Plattsburgh, as Dan Sliasis scored his fourth of the season from Dylan Clarke and Kyle Kudroch at 4:36 of the second period.

Clarke added a goal of his own at the 12:44 mark of the third period.  Ryan Farnan closed out the scoring with an empty net goal with just six seconds left on the clock.
