The Panther bas- ketball teams lost to St. F.X. and Dalhousie at home this weekend. The losses brought the women’s record

to 1-5 and the men’s to 2-4.

On Friday, the Lady Panthers played first. The St. F.X. team dominated the first half and were up 44-18 at halftime. Not having the injured Kate Myron in the line-up hurt the Panthers, who were forced to use the major-

ity of the bench through- out the game. UPEI

experienced trouble with the St. F.X. full court press, and things

continued to go downhill in the second half. The Ax-Women won the game 75-47. St. F.X.’s Kristen Moore was named the AUAA player of the game.

Sunday, Dalhousie came to Charlottetown and outplayed the Pan- thers. UPEI trailed the Tigers 47-28 at the half. The situation got worse for the Panthers in the second half. The final score was in favor of Dalhousie, 77-41. The AUAA player of the game was awarded to Angelia Crealock of Dalhousie.

Against St. F.X., UPEI played well and

were only down 43-34 at the half to the CIAU fourth-ranked St. F.X.

men. A weak start to the second half hurt the Panthers who lost, 91- 72. Randy Nohr, a fourth-year guard for the Ax-Men picked up the AUAA player of the game.

The weekend’s final game appeared to be the first bright point of the Panther basketball weekend. The Panther men played well and ended the first half with a 40-29 lead. The Pan- thers fell apart midway through the second half. Taking the lead, Dalhousie took advantage of several UPEI missed shots and a technical foul given to Panther coach George Morrison. The Tigers

won, 87-75. Dalhousie’s Dontae

Blaney was named AUAA player of the game.

The Panthers were beaten 6-1, Saturday, by Acadia. This is the team’s second straight loss, leaving a 1-11 record.

“We had good first and second peri- ods and then we were down by a couple of goals and collapsed in the third,” first-year Doug Clarke said.

Steve LeCoure,

fourth-year, scored the lone Panther goal in the first period. It was assisted by Nick Grady, first-year, and Dylan Taylor, third-year.

UPEI was outshot 20-35. Acadia chal- lenged fifth-year goalie Dave Mitchell with 13 shots in period one, while the Panthers managed to get off seven shots. In the second period, UPEI outshot Acadia, 9-8. Acadia had the edge in shots in

period three, 14-4.

Both teams had several power-play chances. In five tries, UPEI failed to capitalize on its power-play oppor- tunities. Acadia tallied 2-6 power play record for the game.

“There’s a lot of potential, but right now we’re not getting the results,” Clarke said. “There’s a good chance we’ ll have a good sec- ond half of the season.”
