Freshmen Key in Men's Ice Hockey's 1-0 Win Over Potsdam

College Hockey Stats Box Score

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – Freshman forward Rich McCartney (Hershey, Pa./Philadelphia Revolution) scored the eventual game-winning goal in the second period and freshman goaltender Jimmy Poreda (Tonawanda, N.Y./Connecticut Jr. Rangers) posted a 40-save shutout, as the Plattsburgh State men's ice hockey team edged SUNY Potsdam, 1-0, in State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) action on Saturday evening at the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena.
 
It marked Poreda's second shutout of his freshman season, and the 40 saves tied a career-high. His counterpart, senior goaltender Brendan McMenimen, had a standout performance as well, turning aside 32 shots in the loss for Potsdam.
 
Plattsburgh State rises to 11-10-0 overall (5-7-0 SUNYAC) with the win and now is tied for fifth in the SUNYAC standings with Fredonia, both of whom have 10 points. The Cardinals next host Buffalo State on Friday, Feb. 9, at 7 p.m. Potsdam drops to 8-9-4 overall (4-7-1 SUNYAC) with the loss and next hosts Fredonia on Friday, Feb. 9, at 7 p.m.
 
Though the first period wound up being scoreless, the Cardinals gained scoring opportunities at will, outshooting the Bears, 21-9, in the opening stanza.
 
Just 4:56 into the second period, McCartney scored on the power play to provide what ended up being the only goal of the game. Sophomore forward Antoine Desnoyers (Quebec City, Quebec/Cégep de Saint-Laurent) sent a puck toward the net from the left face-off circle, and sophomore defenseman Charles Barber (Queensbury, N.Y./New York Bobcats) tried to poke it in before striking the right pipe. McCartney was on the doorstep to jab in the rebound to stake the Cardinals to a 1-0 lead.
 
After that goal, Potsdam applied pressure, but Poreda rose to the occasion and turned aside each scoring chance sent his way. The Bears held a 31-12 margin in shots on goal in the final two periods of action and finished with a 40-33 edge for the contest.
 
Plattsburgh State went 1-for-3 on the power play, while Potsdam was scoreless in four chances with the extra skater.
