Plattsburgh State's Errol Daniyan (4) wins the opening tip of the game New Paltz's Peter Carmel (42) and the start of the SUNYAC season was underway. The defending SUNYAC champions would pick up right where they left off last season as they beat the Hawks 87-73. The Cardinals run and gone style of offense would be the key to the victory as the Hawks just couldn't keep up in the late going. Carl Munnerlun would lead the way with 29 points. Gallery
