Plattsburgh pushed the lead to 2-0 later in the frame while Michael Radisa converted on a penalty shot after being hauled down on a shorthanded breakaway.
Dillan Fox and Mark Constantine pushed the lead to 4-0 in the middle stanza, before a pair of third-period goals by Kevin Emmerling completed the scoring for the Cardinals.
Plattsburgh outshot the Bengals 31-15 for the game and finished 2 for 5 on the power play. Buffalo State was unable to convert on six odd-man opportunities. Ian Sylves (Sloan, NY/JFK) finished with 25 saves in goal for the Bengals.
