Junior outside hitter Megan Hyde (Schenectady, N.Y./Schalmont) paced the Cardinal offense with seven kills, while freshman setter/opposite Lauren DeVoe (Wayne, N.J./Wayne Valley) handed out 12 assists. Defensively, freshman defensive specialist Elora Sherman (Huntington Station, N.Y./Harborfields) and sophomore defensive specialist Maddy Zophy (Clifton Park, N.Y./Shenendehowa) each posted nine digs.

Plattsburgh State 3, Buffalo State 0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-22)
 
Plattsburgh State limited Buffalo State to .000 hitting in the second match of the day while posting a .118 clip of its own. The Cardinals outgained the Bengals in blocks (5-4) and digs (63-56), but Buffalo State floored seven aces to Plattsburgh State's four.
 
After Buffalo State took a 3-2 lead in the first set, Plattsburgh State never trailed the rest of the stanza, scoring six of the next seven points. Sophomore middle blocker Michelle Simmons (Riverside, Calif./Riverside Poly) capped off the run with a pair of kills. While the Bengals started closing the gap with a five-point run late in the set, Plattsburgh State scored four of the final seven points in the frame to pull out the 25-19 victory in the first.
 
A 10-point tear early in the second set helped the Cardinals build a sizable lead, as a kill by Hyde staked the Cardinals to a 12-4 advantage. Buffalo State came all the way back, though, tying the set at 19-all following a kill by junior middle hitter/right side Danneile Arcuri. Coming out of a timeout, Plattsburgh State closed the set on a 6-2 run, and a service ace by freshman middle blocker/opposite Ann Beauchamp (Potsdam, N.Y./Potsdam) handed the Cardinals a 25-20 victory in the frame.

The Bengals won two consecutive rallies to pull within one, but a Buffalo State service error and a kill by junior outside hitter Brianna Coon (Plattsburgh, N.Y./Plattsburgh) handed the Cardinals a 25-22 match-clinching victory in the third.
 
Hyde led a balanced Cardinal attack with 10 kills, while DeVoe doled out 20 assists. Zophy reinforced the back row defensively with 24 digs, while Beauchamp and sophomore defensive specialist Abby Bone (Plattsburgh, N.Y./Beekmantown) each posted two service aces.
