Plattsburgh State junior attackman Brendan Damm scored four goals and assisted on a fifth, leading the Cardinals to a 11-7 NCAA Division III lacrosse victory over St. Lawrence University in a game played at Canton College on Wednesday.

The Cardinals, now 8-4 on the season, snapped a two-game win streak for the Saints who were coming off an upset win over third-ranked Union College on Saturday. SLU fell to 5-5 on the season heading into a Liberty League road game at Vassar on Saturday.

The Saints stayed close as sophomore Conor Healey, who was named the USILA Division III North Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in wins over Geneseo and Union had a goal and set up four others, but the Cardinals took a 7-6 lead with 2:30 left in the third period which started a run of five unanswered goals and a 11-6 Plattsburgh lead with 4:20 to go in the game. Connor Brimley scored with eight seconds left for the 11-7 final.

The two teams were tied at 2-2 after one and Plattsburgh had a 6-5 lead at the half on Jack Felter's 24th goal of the year with 20 seconds to go in the second period. Jon Fairbanks tied it for the Saints at 7:30 of the third with his fourth off Healey's assist, but Damm and James Read had two goals each and Read added an assist in the 5-0 Plattsburgh run which put the game away.

Saint goalie Andrew Butturini had 13 saves while Plattsburg's Matt Massaria made 12 stops. Plattsburg was one for five in man up opportunities while the Saints were scoreless in two tries and the Cardinals finished with a 34-29 edge in shots and a 25-15 margin in ground balls. Plattsburgh's Joey Kromer helped his team to 15 faceoff wins in 22 opportunities.

In addition to Healey's five point outing, Jeremy Vautour had two goals, Luike DiLioso had a goal and an assist and Charlie Duprey had a goal to join Fairbanks and Brimley in the scoring column.
