PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Rabideau's OT goal lifts Cardinals

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Kayla Rabideau made her first-career goal at Plattsburgh State a big one Saturday.

The former Northern Adirondack Central School standout scored with 3:08 gone in the second overtime to lift the Cardinals to a 1-0 victory over the University of Scranton in the second round of the Skidmore Classic.

The Cardinals, following up on Thursday night's 2-0 win over the hosts, went 2-0 in the tourney to win the championship.

"It was a real good weekend for us," said Plattsburgh State head coach Karen Waterbury. "We played two quality opponents who went to the NCAA (Division III) Tournament last year.

"We were able to get another shutout today. Our back four and keeper played well. Emily LaLone came off the bench and worked well with Emily Riley at midfield.

"All the girls worked hard. To walk away with two wins down here showed the quality of leadership we were able to get."

Both teams had their chances to score in regulation, but it was in overtime where Plattsburgh State began getting the better of play.

The Cardinals outshot Scranton, 2-0, in the first overtime and then, 3-0, in the second.

Plattsburgh State finally broke through when Rabideau took a throw-in pass from Riley just outside the box on the side and sent a shot into the upper corner of the net.

"Kayla took a nice shot — it wasn't from a great angle, but she bent it in," said Waterbury. "It was a golden goal."

Plattsburgh State finished with an 18-11 advantage in shots. Alina Greiser was in net for the shutout with four saves and Caitlin Byrne made five stops for Scranton.

"We had a couple of good chances in regulation and they did as well where we made a couple of good saves," said Waterbury. "They were strong defensively — they blocked a lot of shots."

The Cardinals return home before heading back out on the road for a 4 p.m. non-league game on Tuesday at St. Lawrence University.
