PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – The Plattsburgh State women's ice hockey team returned to the ice Sunday afternoon in an exhibition game, defeating the Dawson College Blues 5-4.
 
Dawson College opened the scoring with the first two goals of the game three minutes apart midway in the first period to take a 2-0 lead.
 
Sophomore, Melissa Sheeran would cut the Blues lead in half with her wrap-around goal in the waning seconds of the first period to make it 2-1.
