2024-25 Plattsburgh State Women's Ice Hockey Schedule
 
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y.
 – The Plattsburgh State women's ice hockey team will look for another trip to the NCAA Tournament and their first State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) title this upcoming season as the Cardinals have unveiled their 2024-25 slate.
 
Plattsburgh State finished 22-5-1 (16-2 SUNYAC) in 2023-24, earning an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament as the second seeded team overall after falling in overtime in their first SUNYAC Championship game. Under the direction of head coach Kevin Houle, who is in his 21st season and has the highest winning percentage in the history of college women's ice hockey, the Cardinals have won a Division III-record seven national championships. Houle also sits just three wins away from the prestigious 500-win mark, a number only two other NCAA Division III women's ice hockey coaches have surpassed and five coaches in all of NCAA history have achieved.
 
The Cardinals tune up for the regular season on Oct. 26 with an exhibition at the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena, taking on St. Michael's before opening their season on Nov. 2 against Norwich in their home rink. The Cardinals then embark on a string of five straight SUNYAC road games, beginning with a SUNYAC Championship rematch on Nov. 8 at Cortland. The team next heads to Potsdam on Nov. 15 and follows that up with a trip to Oswego on Nov. 16. A date with the Canton Kangaroos concludes the road trip on Nov. 22, as the team returns home the following day for a home game against Buffalo State on Nov. 23.

The Cardinals host the Cardinal/Panther Classic in 2024, as the team will play St. Norbert in the tournament's opening game at 3 p.m. on Nov. 30, followed by Middlebury taking on Endicott at 6 p.m. The consolation game is set for Dec. 1 at 2 p.m. with the championship game to follow at 5 p.m. The team then concludes the 2024 end of their schedule hosting Morrisville in a SUNYAC semifinal rematch on Dec. 6.
 
Plattsburgh State opens up the 2025 portion of its schedule at the Norwich East-West Hockey Classic where they matchup with Nazareth in the tournament's opening game. The team will then either play Amherst or Norwich in the consolation or championship game, set for 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. respectively.  The Cards return home to take on Oswego State in conference play for two weekend games, occurring on Jan 10 and Jan. 11. The team next heads to Morrisville for games on Jan. 17 and Jan. 18, and then Buffalo State on Jan. 24 and Jan. 25 for four straight conference road games. Plattsburgh State then heads to Vermont, as they take on Middlebury in road action on Jan. 28.

The Cards finally return home on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, hosting Cortland for two important SUNYAC games, and then take on Potsdam on Feb. 7 at home and Feb. 8 on the road. The conference schedule wraps on Feb. 14 and Feb. 15, as Canton comes to Plattsburgh for two league games. Plattsburgh State will then wrap up its regular season on the road, as they head to Williams on Feb. 22.
 
The top four teams in the final regular-season conference standings will qualify for the SUNYAC Tournament, with the semifinals set for Mar. 1 and the championship set for March 8.

New season ticket holder sales will begin on Monday, August 12.
