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

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

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.

CCC women win 3rd on road

Press-Republican

TROY — The Clinton Community College women's soccer team got a little lax with a 1-0 lead going into halftime Tuesday at Hudson Valley.

But when Sidney Jenkins knotted the score at 1-1 with a goal for the Vikings midway through the second half, the Cougars woke up.

Kim Dragoon scored her second of the day and Jade Sayward and Chelsea LaRose added a goal apiece in the second stanza to lead Clinton to a 4-1 victory.

"We dominated most of the second half," Clinton coach Donna Dixon said. "Once we got hungry, we did a great job.

"We were able to possess it and create some chances."

The Cougars (3-2) owe much of the victory to the defense. Clinton held Hudson Valley to only eight shots the entire game.

"Our team defense did really well, starting with Erin Sullivan and working our way back to Autumn Irwin, Brooke Pray and Katie McIntosh," Dixon said. "And the forwards did a really good job making things happen."

Clinton posted 36 shots in the game. LaRose, Sayward and Shauni Trombly added an assist apiece.

"The forwards — Kim Dragoon, Jade Sayward, Codia Holland and Chelsea LaRose — are really starting to work well together," Dixon added. "We had really some nice combinations today."

The Cougars host Paul Smith's Thursday in their home opener.

"We played our first five games on the road and coming out 3-2 is a very positive sign, especially for such a young team," Dixon concluded.
