PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – After a goal from the Cardinals tied the game at two, a 9-0 scoring run propelled Union to a 19-4 win as the Plattsburgh State women's lacrosse team fell in non-conference action at home on Saturday afternoon. Junior attacker Cynthia Barnosky (Shirley, N.Y. / William Floyd) was the only Cardinal with a multi-point day as she recorded a goal and an assist. 
 
First years Iohseriio Tabor (Akwesasne, N.Y. / Salmon River) and Maggie Maurer (Stony Point, N.Y. / North Rockland) along with Caitlin Nash (Patchogue, N.Y. / Patchogue-Medford) all recorded a goal. Junior attacker Alex LaDue (Saranac Lake, N.Y. / Saranac Lake) notched an assist in the overall effort. Junior defender Lillian Gilroy (Rome, N.Y. / Rome Free Academy) finished with nine draw controls, three caused turnovers, and two ground balls.
 
For the Garnet Chargers, three players had a game-high four points led by Lana Mickleson with three goals and an assist. Gillian Joseph and Stella Del Papa both recorded two goals and two assists while Hannah Compa finished with a hat trick. 
 
Union outshot Plattsburgh 37-17 and won the ground ball battle 35-20. The Cardinals had the edge on the circle, winning 15 draw controls to Union's 11 and went 9-16 on clears while Union went 20-25. Only the Cardinals recorded free position shots, but the team only went 1-7. 
 
Plattsburgh State moves to 1-2 and is back in action on Tuesday, Mar. 11 when the team travels to Clarkson for a 4 p.m. opening draw control. Union rises to 1-0 and is back in action next Saturday, Mar. 8 when they host Geneseo. 
 
The Cardinals scored the opening goal after Barnosky controlled the offense from behind the net and found a cutting Maurer for the goal at the 12:53 mark. Union responded with back-to-back goals and took a 2-1 lead before Tabor was able to rip a shot past the Union goalie and tied the game at 2 at the 7:51 mark. 
 
Unfortunately, that tie wouldn't last long as Union responded with a goal 40 seconds later that started a 9-0 scoring run that went into the second quarter and gave them a commanding 11-2 lead at the 5:37 mark. Nash ended the run with an unassisted goal, but Union responded with back-to-back goals and extended their lead to 13-3 at halftime. 
 
After both teams traded goals to start the third quarter, Union ended the third quarter with a player-up goal from Teagan Steele and took a 14-4 lead into the final quarter. 
 
The fourth quarter saw Union outscore Plattsburgh 4-0 as the Cardinals only registered two shots in the final quarter and ultimately fell 19-4. 
 
Sophomore Anna Myers (Saugerties, N.Y. / Saugerties) had eight saves in the loss for Plattsburgh while Sydney Widlitz and Sierra Harris both had two saves in 30 minutes of action, with Widlitz earning the win for Union.
