PLATTSBURGH — The Saranac hockey team broke loose for five goals in the second period Saturday and skated to a 6-0 non-conference victory over Rutland, Vermont, giving the Spartans their first win of the season.
Ryan Campbell, Gabe Moore and Brody Macomber combined for 12 points for Saranac, with Campbell and Moore getting two goals and two assists apiece, and Macomber a goal and three assists.
Adrian Barnes contributed a goal and assist, while Robbie Squier assisted on two goals. Barnes and Noah Terry were recognized prior to the contest on Senior Day.
Carson Holland, making his first varsity start in net, turned away 15 shots for the shutout.
“We played the best in the first period when we held a 17-1 advantage in shots on goal but couldn’t find the back of the net,” Saranac coach Robby Knowles said.
“Defensively, we kept them to the perimeter and didn’t give up any Grade A scoring chances all game. We blocked 17 shots in the defensive zone, and a lot of those led to offensive chances on the rush.
“I was glad to see pucks go in because some guys needed the boost to get going. Unfortunately, we took some undisciplined penalties, which puts a dark cloud over our performance. If we want to be successful in our league, we need to clean that up.”

ST. LAWRENCE 3
NORTHEASTERN CLINTON 1
ROUSES POINT — Hayden Schad’s goal at 9:04 of the second period tied the game at 1-all for the Cougars, but Shawn Murray’s goal just 31 seconds later put St. Lawrence Central ahead to stay in the non-conference contest.
The visitors from Section X then added an empty-net goal with 1:22 remaining in regulation to seal the win.
Greyson Lafountain stopped 29 of 31 shots in net for the Cougars. Thomas Liberty made 25 stops on 26 shots for St. Lawrence.
“It was a pretty even match-up,” NCCS coach Scott Lafountain said. “The boys competed all game.
“However, we have to find our offense and establish more Grade A opportunities to score. When your goalie is making the saves that are needed, we have to find a way to get a win for him.
“We had a power play with under four minutes left and had some good looks. We took a chance and pulled the goalie for an extra attacker at the three-minute mark, had them pinned in their zone but couldn’t capitalize on it. St. Lawrence sealed the win with an empty-net goal just after the penalty expired.”

SARATOGA — Five players scored a goal each in the game, and Section II’s Saratoga broke the non-conference contest open with three second-period markers.
Saratoga finished with a 37-19 advantage in shots on goal, and Owen Chapple was in net for the Hornets with 32 saves.
“It was a tough battle on the road,” PHS coach Trevor Cameron said. “We just didn’t capitalize on our opportunities. It goes back to shooting more and, ultimately, shooting to score.
“We also struggled with fundamental skills on defense, and they made us pay. Their goalie played very well.”
