PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – Freshman forward Luke Dole (Delmar, NY/Bethlehem) tallied a late second half goal but the State University of New York at New Paltz men's soccer squad gave up another last-minute goal for the second-straight day, this time to host SUNY Plattsburgh, as both teams battled to a 1-1 SUNYAC draw on Saturday afternoon at the Field House Complex.

Dole headed home a cross from sophomore midfielder Manny Flory (Long Beach, NY/Long Beach) in the 83^rd minute to give the Hawks (5-3-6, 1-3-2 SUNYAC) a 1-0 advantage. Senior midfielder Sam Spring (Long Island City, NY/NYC Lab School for Collaborative Studies) was also credited with an assist on the play.

However, the Cardinals (9-3-1, 2-2-1 SUNYAC) netted a goal in the 89^th minute to force the game to extra time. In the first overtime session, the Hawks only managed to fire off one shot and were held without a shot in the second stanza.

In the 76^th minute, senior Charlie Versen (Dobbs Ferry, NY/The Masters School) failed to convert a penalty kick opportunity which would have given the Hawks a 1-0 lead.

Plattsburgh outshot the Hawks 20-10 as Versen led the team with four shots (two on target) off the bench. Six other players for New Paltz tallied one shot apiece.

Junior netminder John Guzzo (Carle Place, NY/Carle Place) made a career-high eight saves on the day.
