Plattsburgh State's Shannon Stewart with the shot on the doorstep looking for her second goal. It would be a battle of top three times in the country as the #1 Plattsburgh State Cardinals would host the #3 Norwich at the Ronald B Stafford Ice Arena. It wouldn't take the Cardinals long to get in the scoring action as Giovanna Sense would score at the 3:10 mark of the first period for the 1-0 Cardinals lead. The Cardinals would double the lead to 2-0 at the 7:45 mark on Shannon Stewart's goal. Then at 12:48 mark of the first period, the Cardinals would end the first period scoring with Ali Vako's goal to make it 3-0 Cardinals. That is where the game would remain until the third period when Jordan Caldwel would score at the 12:40 mark for the 4-0 Cardinals lead. Then just 44 seconds later the Cardinals would score again to make it 5-0 on Giovanna Sense's second goal of the night. Then just to finish off the Cardinals would get one more in the closing seconds from Caitlin Gilligan to secure the 6-0 win. In the winning effort, Sydney Averson would stop all 27 shots for the shutout as the Cardinals go to 10-0-1 on the season. Gallery
