The Cardinals quickly jumped on the board on Alexis Archilla's fourth of the year with just 9:33 gone in the game. A corner kick by Fabian Chaparro made its way directly to Archilla and the Cardinal rookie found the upper right corner with a header shot to give Plattsburgh State a 1-0 lead.

The Golden Knights (1-4-0) closed out the scoring at 31:48 with a goal from Tucker Wilcox that made it just past the left post to make it a one-goal game.
 
Plattsburgh State held off Clarkson in the second half as the Golden Knights were unable to get another shot on goal. The Cardinals finished the evening with a 13-7 edge in shots and a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks.
