Matt MacLeod tacked on an insurance goal midway through the third period with his third of the year from Docking and Taylor.

The Cardinals carried much of the play, finishing the night with 43 shots on goal. Babson (3-8-0) took 28 shots. Plattsburgh was 0-for-5 on the power play while the penalty kill unit continued its stellar play killing the only penalty the Cardinals took on the night.

Mathieu Cadieux began the night between the pipes for Plattsburgh, turning away all 20 shots he faced through the first two periods. Josh Leis came on in relief for the third period recording eight saves. Testa made 38 stops for the Beavers.
