- Cortland lived up to its billing as the most-penalized team in the SUNYAC, taking nine penalties for 29 minutes in Friday’s 4-1 loss to Plattsburgh. The Cardinals went 2-for-6 on the power play. The Red Dragons had just one power play in the game.
- Kevin Emmerling, who recorded a goal and an assist, now has a team-high 12 goals this season. He’s fifth among Division III freshmen with 1.10 points per game.
- Dillan Fox’s points streak came to an end Friday at eight games. The freshman forward failed to earn a point for the first time since Jan. 5.
- Senior forward Jared Docking received the 2013 Chartwells Fan Favorite Award before the game.
Alex Brenton on what coach Bob Emery said during a second-period timeout: “He gave it to us. He let us know what was what, and I feel like after that we came back and we answered.”
Emery: “I thought we controlled the play down deep behind their goal line for the most part all night. We didn’t have a lot to show for it. We gotta get a little dirtier and play a little more tough in the paint, getting to some rebounds in the offensive end.”
Brenton on what Plattsburgh needs to do against Oswego: “We’ve just got to outwork and outsacrifice them. We gotta block shots. We gotta take the man. We just gotta play our (butts) off, for lack of a better word.”
