IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

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.

Cardinal women drop one-goal game to Oswego

By JOHN CORYER Press-Republican

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh State women’s soccer team broke its streak this season of losing 1-0 games Saturday.

Unfortunately for the Cardinals, they lost, 2-1.

Nikki Liadka’s goal at 37:23 of the first half broke a 1-all tie and gave Oswego State a 2-1 victory in SUNY Athletic Conference play at the Field House Soccer Complex.

The loss completed an 0-2 home weekend for the goal-starved Cardinals (5-6, 1-2).

“We had great chances and didn’t put them away again,” said Plattsburgh coach Karen Waterbury. “We don’t have a finisher right now.

“We’re not getting goals from our forwards or midfielders. We need to get our goals by committee and it’s not happening.”

Bri Dolan’s goal on a free kick gave the Lakers (5-4, 2-2) the lead with 18:09 gone in the first half.

But, the Cardinals answered with a free kick of their own when Emily LaLone found the back of the net at 34:34.

The tie, however, lasted less than three minutes when Liadka took a pass from Georgia Traynor and got through the Plattsburgh defense for the game-winning goal.

The Cardinals, despite trailing, held a 9-3 shot advantage at the half and finished with a 15-7 edge for the game. Plattsburgh applied some serious pressure after intermission, but was unable to get the equalizer.

“At the end of the day, we have to take care of business,” said Waterbury. “We have to find a way to win games like this and, right now, we’re not doing so.”

The Cardinals scored a combined four goals in their last seven games and three of those came in a 3-0 victory over Potsdam.

Monica D’Ippolito played the first 43:57 in net for the Cardinals and was not credited with a save. Danielle Schmitt went the rest of the way and turned aside three shots.

Emily Varonier stopped six shots in the Oswego nets.

The Cardinals now hit the road for conference games at New Paltz on Friday and Oneonta on Saturday.
