PLATTSBURGH — Playing in its second close game in two nights, the Saranac Lake Placid girls hockey team came out on the losing end of a 2-1 decision Wednesday against Plattsburgh.

The Hornets built a two-goal lead with a goal by Morgan Reid at 9:23 of the second period and a score by McKenzie Brown at 6:07 of the third.

SLP responded when Lydia Bullock connected at 9:25 of the third, but SLP was unable to muster the heroics of the previous night and had to settle for the 2-1 loss.

SLP was in a similar situation Tuesday against Potsdam as Bullock connected with 49 seconds left in the game to score the equalizer with an extra skater on the ice. SLP went on to beat Potsdam 5-4 in overtime.

Olivia Ferebee stopped 14 shot in goal for SLP on Wednesday. Plattsburgh outshot SLP 16-11.

Saranac Lake Placid will have a few days off before returning to action next Tuesday on the road against Franklin Academy in Malone.
