(from Heather M Neely, SUNY at Plattsburgh (wts)...) Well, what a sweet revenge it was. For anyone who was in Elmira's Murray Center for the ECAC Div. III semifinals and finals, it was a weekend of "on -the-edge-of-your-seat" hockey. Here are the scores from the weekend: SEMIFINALS Plattsburgh vs. Fredonia 7-5 Elmira vs. Mercyhurst 3-0 FINALS Plattsburgh vs. Mercyhurst 6-3 And in regards to Bill Fenwick's message re: Elmira notes, on game location, and how Plattsburgh should indeed host, because of our first place standing, thank you. It was a six and 1/2 hour trip for us, and we did fine. Someone posted that Joe Bertagna said it would take Fredonia and Mercyhurst 12-13hrs to travel to Plattsburgh. Well, if Fredonia can do it during the regular season, why should this be any different? Besides, that's a slight time exaggeration. It does NOT take 12-13 hrs to get to the "'Burgh" from Fredonia. Anyway, I said that the Cardinals would go to play hockey, and we did. Also, a note to those of you who did go, or those of you who at least heard about it, here's an explanation. Upon announcing the all- tourney MVPs, we were then presented with the ECAC plaque/trophy. Our Captain, Jim Duran, held it high above his head for all of the team and fans (who took a bus down that day to cheer on their team, and returned home that night) to see. Then, he calmly placed the plaque at center ice, and the team went to the locker room. Many folks did not understand why the team did that. Well, it was to make a point to the ECAC that we did not need a plaque to tell us that we won. We played with class throughout the season and the tourney. We knew we did what had to be done. We played our entire season as a hard-working team, and when the ECAC told us we would not be hosting the tournament, they took a part of our hearts and a part of our dignity away. Well we earned them back by winning the championship game. We were not going to formally accept a trophy in the Murray Center for winning a tournament that never should have been played there in the first place. Re: the SUNYAC pulling out of the ECAC, the SUNYACs are not going to participate because our own SUNYAC tourney will be two weekends, rather than one, like in the past. If I hear anything further, I'll post it. Heather Neely "Let's go Cardinals, Let's go!" SUNY-Plattsburgh Class of'92 "Big Red Rollin'!"
