WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Ten players registered a point as the top-ranked Plattsburgh State women's hockey team earned a 4-1 victory at Williams in a non-conference game Tuesday night.
 
The Cardinals (12-0-1) got on the board with Jenny Kistner's goal at the 4:39 mark of the first period.

Plattsburgh State extended its lead to 2-0 at 10:13 of the second on a shot from Mel Ames that sailed just under the crossbar but Williams (5-6-0) cut the Cardinals' lead in half just 1:12 later when Cristina Bravi scored a power-play goal to make it a 2-1 game.

The Cardinals added an insurance goal when Jordan Caldwell buried Shannon Stewart's rebound for a power-play goal at the 8:16 mark of the third to round out the scoring. Allison Era also assisted on Caldwell's sixth of the season.
 
Sydney Aveson recorded a season-high 28 saves to improve to 10-0-1 on the year for Plattsburgh State. Billadeau made 42 stops for the Ephs in the loss.
