Leading off today: Spencerport hockey coach Craig Charron died this morning after being diagnosed with stomach cancer early this year. He was 42.

   Charron was an inductee in the hall of fame of the American Hockey League's Rochester Americans. The North Easton, Mass., native spent parts of five seasons with the Amerks, helping them to the 1996 Calder Cup.

   The third-year Spencerport coach was diagnosed with his illness in January. More than 3,000 people attended a benefit game in August, and an auction of player jerseys following RIT's hockey game vs. Mass.-Lowell over the weekend raised more than $7,000 for Charron and his family.

   He is survived by his wife, Wendy, and four children.

   On and on they go: The Fayetteville-Manlius girls tennis team won its 289th consecutive match yesterday en route to capturing an 18th straight Section 3 team championship. The Hornets blanked Class A No. 2 seed Liverpool 7-0.

   The Hornets went 14-0 this fall.

   As impressive as F-M's team accomplishment has been, The Post-Standard's tennis roundup unearthed an individual run of success that's every bit as mind-boggling.

   Sophomore Olivia Messineo of sectional Class B champ Syracuse CBA had a run of 28 straight sets won during the season. That in itself isn't staggering, but this is: At one point, she won 104 games in a row. That adds up to more than 17 sets without surrendering a game.    That's an exceptional run of dominance.

   Speaking of streaking: Southwestern's 36-game win streak is tied for the third-longest active run in the nation, The Buffalo News reports.

   The active leaders are Ulla (N.C.) West Rowan at 39 and Hampton (Va.) Phoebus at 37.

which ended in 1999, by winning this weekend in its playoff opener.

   Sweet Home's 33-game streak is tied for sixth on the U.S. list.

   Being cautious: I beat on the PSAL fairly regularly in no small part because they are such a target-rich environment.

   This time, though, I have to give that organization some credit for being proactive and then acting quickly to clear up a mistake.

   The league stripped Thomas Jefferson of four boys soccer victories last week because they did not have proper medical paperwork on star midfielder Omar Crowl, The New York Post reported. The school located the problem -- a clerical error in the nurse's office -- appealed to the PSAL and quickly had the wins restored to bring the team back to 12-0 for the season.

   Looking out for the safety of the athletes should be Job 1 for any sports organization, and the PSAL acted for all the right reasons. And when the source of the error was discovered, they acted on that, too.

   Tough bunch: The St. Anthony's girls have gone more than seven full games without surrendering a goal following a 2-0 soccer victory over Kellenberg.

   The Friars are 12-0-1 following two goals yesterday by Maria Jones. Goalies Jensen Wiedmer and Danielle Maurice combined for 10 saves as the Friars posted their ninth shutout.

   Ashley Small leads the team with 11 goals this season.
