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.

FREDONIA — Fredonia scored less than a minute into its Saturday-night matchup with Plattsburgh State.

Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, the Cardinals responded with 10 goals.

Plattsburgh improved to 6-1 in a 10-2 rout at Fredonia in SUNYAC action, marking the team's 11th-consecutive conference road win dating back to the 2008-09 season.

The blowout win came after a 7-0 shutout victory over Buffalo State Friday night.

"I'm real happy with the whole weekend," Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said. "We went 17-2 for scoring, but I'm more happy with the two than the 17."

Ryan Williams got the nod in net for PSU, making 27 saves. Plattsburgh outshot Fredonia, 42-29.

Eric Satim, Andrew Willock and Vick Schleuter each had two goals for Plattsburgh. Both of Satim's scores were within the first five minutes of play, the second during a 4-on-4 stint.

Brett Meuller tallied Fredonia's first score, and Jeff Aonsa knotted the game at two after Satim's go-ahead goal.

Emery said Plattsburgh started slow out the gate, but the team controlled the play after Fredonia (6-4, 4-3) scored its last of the game.

"For the first 10 minutes, we were turning the puck over in our own end," Emery said. "(After that) puck possession was key for us, and we did a great job on our breakout."

Peter Kaliscik, Patrick Jobb, Ian DeLong and Dylan Clarke added goals for PSU.

Andrew Willock assisted on three scores while Satim, Paul Puglisi, Clarke, Chris Wieland, Tom Breslin and Mike Grace tallied two helpers apiece.

Jobb, Kyle Taylor and Matty MacLeod each had one assist.

Kody Van Rentergem started in goal for the Blue Devils but was pulled after allowing three first-period goals.

Pat Street replaced Van Rentergem in the second and made 24 saves.

The Cardinals are slated to face Middlebury Friday in the first round of the Primelink Shootout in Northville, VT.

"Everything is a work-in-progress," Emery said. "We're going to enjoy the win then get back to work Monday. It doesn't get better than the teams in the Primelink."
