    Tonight the Plattsburgh women's hockey team opened their first home game of the season. Their opponent? Elmira - the defending National Champions for NCAA Division III women's ice hockey as well as the top ranked team in the nation.

    Elmira is not the defending National Champions. Amherst is.

        Whoopsie; my bad. Thanks for the catch; I should have said defending conference champs. This has been corrected

            And just when I thought Elmira couldn't get any uglier with their jersey. Somebody must be laughing at the company that made those.

                    0 for 2? Hardly. Upstage was fitting - but here's a complimentary lesson. Elmira was the top rated team per the rankings, they won the conference last season, AND they were the favorite coming into Cardinal Country.

                    And as an added bonus (to provide some educational value to this post) "upstage" is used as a transitive verb to indicate diverting attention from - or outshining - someone. With Elmira being the heavy favorite - and Plattsburgh playing a great game and emerging with the better team - the Cardinals did, in fact, upstage them. Neat eh?

                      Heavy favorite???

                      Hardly. Elmira lost just as much as Plattsburgh did. RIT is the "favorite" in the ECAC West. Check the coaches poll.

                      At best the line was even coming into this game and I gave Plattsburgh the edge because they are playing on their home ice.

                        Not sure what hymm book your singing from but us normal folk check the Websters for definitions:

                        "Upstage"

                        adjective-haughtily aloof, supercilious

                        verb-to behave snobbishly toward

                        Noun-any stage position to the rear of another

                        But hey Thanks for the compimentary lesson and educational value...next time I'll pass though.

                        0 for 4.

                          Not that it matters, but I'd say that you are both right regarding the meanings of upstage.

                              Yes, shame on me for wanting to share my perspective with other hockey fans...In a public forum! What EVER was I thinking? This should be a closed world.
