The setback put a damper on a night where the three Plattsburgh State seniors -- C.J. Tozzo, T.J. Cooper and Mike Baccaro -- were honored prior to playing their final home regular season game. Tozzo was also chosen as the Fan Favorite for the 2007-08 season.

The Cardinals close out the SUNYAC regular season with three road games -- Friday at Brockport, Saturday at Geneseo and Feb. 16 at Potsdam. Plattsburgh State will likely need to win two of three in order to clinch the regular season championship.

In other SUNYAC action Saturday night, Oswego moved closer to the Cardinals with a 9-2 thumping of Brockport, Buffalo State skated to a 5-1 victory at Potsdam, and Cortland was a 6-4 winner over Geneseo.
