PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – Plattsburgh State men's soccer fell to Skidmore College 2-0 in non-conference action on Saturday night at the Field House Complex.
 
Plattsburgh State (2-4-0) was outscored by Skidmore College (4-0-2) 1-0 in the first half of play. The Thoroughbreds struck early as Stanley Langyintuo scored, unassisted, in the fourth minute. Plattsburgh State's junior goalkeeper Ryan Wilson (Poughkeepsie, N.Y./Arlington) (2-4-0) punched out an initial shot. A Cardinal defender tried to clear the ball, but it deflected back off of Wilson and out to Langyintuo, who took a shot from the top-right portion of the 18-yard box that found the lower-left corner of the net. 
 
In the second half, Skidmore would score the only goal of the stanza to make the final score 2-0 in favor of the Thoroughbreds. Skidmore's goal came early in the half with David Braman scoring in the 52nd minute. On a free kick from outside the top of the 18-yard box, Braman finished into the lower-left corner of the net with a right-footed strike.

Running into the left-side of the 18-yard box, Chris Robertson (Thiells, N.Y./St. Joseph Regional (N.J.)) had a shot that went wide in the 77th minute. Then in the 80th minute, freshman forward Cole Weiner (Saint James, N.Y./Smithtown) had a shot from close range that was saved by Skidmore's goalkeeper Sebastian Bosch (4-0-1).
