PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. -- The host SUNY Plattsburgh Cardinals received goals from four different players en route to a 4-0 victory over the University of Southern Maine Huskies Saturday in the second day of play at the Cardinal Classic.
The Cardinals won both of their games in the tournament without allowing a goal to open the 2010 season 2-0. The Huskies dropped their second straight game to slip to 0-2. In the other game Saturday, Skidmore College defeated Lehman College, 4-0, to also finish the tournament undefeated.
Sophomore Mike Payne (New Hartford, N.Y.) broke a scoreless deadlock in the 25th minute converting an assist from senior Danny Byrnes (Hyde Park, N.Y.). Rookie Stjepan Bandov doubled the lead for the Cardinals five minutes later off assists from senior Bart Mislak (Mississauga, Ontario) and sophomore Matt Hamilton (Keeseville, N.Y.).
In the second half, junior Pat Shaughnessy (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) scored in the 60th minute, assisted by senior Chris Taylor (Liverpool, England). Taylor would pick up a second assist setting up senior John LoGuirto (Holbrook, N.Y.) with less than three minutes to play.
Sophomore Andy Heighinton (Simcoe, Ontario) had to record one save to pick up the shutout for Plattsburgh. Senior David Kreps (Agawam, Mass./Wilbraham & Monson) was credited with nine saves for USM.
