The completion of this boon Panther eee season also saw the end two illustrious careers. e ; ‘ women’s Jennifer Johnson and men’s Michael Moore President Andrew Peppin each finished their respective careers with the univer- sity. As Panthers, both Moore and Johnson have made VP Internal Matt Hogan important contributions to their teams, and over the years, each has also played on some very successful teams. VP External B.J.

Michael Moore is from Toronto, Ontario, is a fifth year chemistry major, and has had some great years while VP Operations Kyle Hann at UPEI. Moore was in his sophomore season when his team lost the championship game in double overtime. VP Finance Stephen Lewis For the past two seasons Moore has been co-captain of the men’s Panther squad providing leadership for his Science Rep. Megan Miller team.

Early in the 1997-98 season Moore suffered a knee Terry McCormack injury that ended his season and some thought possibly Senate Rep. Alex E. McMillan his career at UPEI.

Still, Moore was able to take the pain and work his Valedictorian Matt McQuaid

way back to complete his career as a Panther in the AUAA.

Going out in style, Moore had a game-high 28 points, 6 threes, 3 boards, giving 2 assists and making 2 steals in his last game.

Moore received a standing ovation as he was taken off with little time left on the clock and was named player of the game.

Although the Panthers’ last game of the regular sea- son was a 88-78 win over the UNB Reds, it was not enough as they just missed making the playoffs. Moore leaves behind a young and promising team who have no dough benefitted from his presence.

Jennifer Johnson and her UPEI Women’s Panthers did make the playoffs but they did not make it as far as she would have liked.

Johnson, a fifth-year guard from Cardigan, PEI, had 22 points in her final game but the Panthers were unable to defeat the Saint Francis Xavier women’s squad.

Although the Panthers will not be returning to the AUAA championship, which they won last year, they can still take pride in having had another outstanding season.

To cap off her last year with the Panthers, Johnson was named the AUAA women’s basketball conference most valuable player and was selected to the first all- Conference team.

As well she was named to the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU) second team All- Canadian and to the conference playoff all-star team in the AUAA.

In her career as a Panther, Johnson has accumu- lated 1,358 points with 362 this year finishing a conferece second in three pointers with 33 and second in free throw percentage with 84.8.

Johnson will be missed next year but there is a good chance that her Panthers will continue to play as they

did with her and remain one of the best in the league.
