| The Game Story: | |||||
| Sophomore Neal Campbell (Merrick, NY/Mepham) scored a collegiate career-high five goals this afternoon to lead the host Red Dragons to an 18-7 win against visiting Plattsburgh in SUNYAC action. With the win today Oneonta (8-6/3-2) secured a spot in the SUNYAC tournament that begins next Wednesday with the semifinals. The loss for Plattsburgh (6-5/2-3) knocks them out of contention for the final playoff spot by virtue of its loss to Potsdam earlier this season. The two teams played a tight first quarter at a slowdown tempo with the hosts having a 3-1 lead after the opening stanza. Plattsburgh opened the scoring just 59 seconds in on an unassisted goal by junior Bill Schmitt (Garrison, NY/Lakeland Panas). Oneonta answered with three straight goals including two by Campbell for its two-goal advantage at the end of the first period. The hosts took advantage of Plattsburgh's inability to successfully clear the ball in the second quarter and put up six goals to the Cardinal's two tallies. After a goal by senior Ryan Henry (West Babylon, NY/West Babylon) made it 4-1 Oneonta, Plattsburgh notched two straight to cut the lead to 4-3. The Red Dragons closed the period with five unanswered goals including three in the final 2:38 to take a 9-3 lead into halftime. Plattsburgh scored the first two goals of the third period to cut Oneonta's lead to four goals at 9-5. Senior Kenny Pierson (Brewster, NY/Brewster) scored a man-up goal at 14:01 with an assist from senior Jordan Thompson (Hogansburg, NY/Proctor Academy). Thompson then set up junior Zack Boyce (Rochester, NY/Pittsford) at 12:41 on the next goal for Plattsburgh. Oneonta countered with four straight goals including two goals by senior Chad Wagoner (Chittenango, NY/Chittenango) that came just 29 seconds apart to increase its lead 13-5 at the end of third period. Oneonta finished the game outscoring Plattsburgh 5-2 in the fourth period for the final margin of victory. Freshman goalie Kyle Reich (New Hyde Park, NY/Great Neck South) made four saves in earning his fourth win of the season. Oneonta will close out the regular season at home this Saturday against Geneseo in a game that will be for second place in the conference and a home game for the semifinals next Wednesday. Geneseo lost to Cortland today, which makes them 4-1 in the SUNYAC while Oneonta is 3-2 in conference play. If Oneonta wins Saturday, they would win the head-to-head tie-breaker to earn the second seed. |
