MONTREAL – The Plattsburgh State women's ice hockey team concluded the Theresa Humes Tournament Monday against host school Concordia, dropping a 3-0 contest to the Stingers.
Concordia would strike with 7:49 remaining in the first period after Ann-Julie Deschenes raced down the left boards passing it to the trailer Keriann Schofield in the slot. Schofield would send a wristed over the glove of freshman goaltender Kassie Abbott for a 1-0 lead.
The Stingers would make it 2-0 with just 20 seconds left in the first period on the power play. Tracy-Ann Lavigne jammed a backhander under a sprawled out Abbott for the tally.
The second period would go quietly as both teams struggled to create constant pressure and quality scoring chances.
Claudia Dubious would be on the receiving end of nice tic-tac-toe passing that occurred on a three on one rush. First Schofield lugged the puck down the right hand boards before dropping it back to Devon Thompson who would then slid it across to Dubious on the left side of the crease for a one-timer past Abbott.
Plattsburgh State finished the afternoon 0-5 on the power play while picking up eight penalties of its own. In the three games, the Cardinals took a total of 25 penalties.
Abbott would make 26 saves on 29 shots for the Cardinals while Conordia goalie Briar Bache finished with a 23-shot shutout.
The Cardinals finished the tournament with a 2-1 record and will return to the ice on Tuesday, January 12
