PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — The Plattsburgh State men's soccer team defeated SUNY Canton, 2-0, in a non-conference match on Tuesday at the Field House Complex.

Plattsburgh State (7-7-1) next hosts SUNY Potsdam for its regular-season finale at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23. The Cardinals will be honoring their senior class with a Senior Day ceremony. Canton travels to SUNY Delhi for a non-conference match at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23.

Plattsburgh State, which controlled play throughout most of the match and outshot Canton 29-1 (17-1 shots on goal), scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal in the 19th minute. Senior midfielder Yusuke Tanda (Yokohama, Japan/Yokohama Minami) played a pass ahead to senior midfielder Cameron Richards (Larchmont, N.Y./Mamaroneck), who played a pass forward to sophomore midfielder Dylan Shalvey (Cavan, Ireland/Tappan Zee). Shalvey dribbled into the 18-yard box and scored his fourth goal of the season with a shot into the lower-right corner of the goal to make the score 1-0.

Plattsburgh State's lead remained 1-0 until the 83rd minute when first-year midfielder John Hayes (Pearl River, N.Y./Pearl River) scored his third goal of the season. Hayes dribbled forward from midfield — evading defenders along the way. After entering the 18-yard box, Hayes scored with a shot into the lower-left corner of the goal.

First-year goaltender Teddy Healy (Amityville, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial), who is the reigning PrestoSports Men's Soccer Defensive Athlete of the Week, earned his second career shutout. Healy has a 7-7-1 record on the season.
