PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – The Plattsburgh State women's soccer team dominated the visiting SUNY Canton Kangaroos on Tuesday night from the first whistle, winning 6-0. The Cardinals scored just 10 seconds into the game action, setting the tone early for the offensive onslaught. 
 
Allison Brown (Pelham, N.Y./Pelham) scored the game's opening goal, as Nora Fitzgerald (New Rochelle, N.Y./New Rochelle) assisted and followed with the next two goals. Avery Durgan (Plattsburgh, N.Y./Beekmantown) scored the next goal and Catrina Maltes (Washingtonville, N.Y./Washingtonville) netted the final goal of the first half. The final score of the action came in the 87^th minute from senior Jessica Landman (Barneveld, N.Y./Holland Patent) who registered her first career goal just before the end of the game. 
 
Assists in the game action came from Fitzgerald, Duragn, Ella Santomassimo (Poughkeepsie, N.Y./Arlington), Brown, and Zoe Rice (Leicester, Mass./Leicester). Brook DaSilva (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown West) got her first collegiate action in goal, making the start and registering the shutout win. 
 
Plattsburgh finishes the regular season 7-4-5 and will next play Geneseo in the opening round of their conference tournament. The Cardinals host the Knights at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28 as the third-seeded Cards will look to advance to their ninth semifinal in the last 10 seasons. Canton wraps up their season falling to 0-12-4. 
 
Just 10 seconds into the game, the Cardinals notched the opening score, as Plattsburgh easily moved through the Canton defense, leading to Fitzgerald finding Brown streaking down the left side of the field for the goal. While no statistical records exist on the quickness of a goal being scored at Plattsburgh, it is likely one of the fastest scores in program history.  
 
Just three minutes later, Fitzgerald added her seventh goal of the season, scoring a goal off a Durgan assist, as the Cardinals moved the ball in and around the Canton's defense with ease. Fitzgerald added her eighth goal of the year five minutes after that, as Santomassimo found the senior attacker open just outside the six for the score. 
 
In the 16^th minute, Durgan scored her new career-high sixth goal of the year off the foot of Brown to make the score 4-0 early in the game action. After a flurry of subs in the 16^th minute, Maltes entered and found her chance in the 27^th minute, making an excellent combination of moves around her defender at the top of the 18-yard box to connect on her second goal of the season. The final score came off a Rice throw-in late in the second half, as her throw found Landman wide open in the box, where she finished for her first career score. 
 
Overall, Plattsburgh displayed an outstanding offensive effort, attempting a season-high 36 shots with 23 on goal, also a season-high. The team earned seven corners and controlled the ball for the entire game, not even allowing the 'Roos to attempt a shot over 90 minutes.
 
Skylar Williams made eight saves in goal taking the loss playing the first half, while Emma Cahill played the second half and made eight saves as well, allowing one goal.
