      _
      Lady's
      team
      defeated
      in
      semi-finals
     
    
   
   
    
     
      last
      Saturday
      as
      the
      UPEI
      Panthers
      were
     
     
      defeated
      1-0
      by
      the
      Acadia
      Axettes
      in
     
     
      the
      semi-final
      match
      of
      the
      AUAA
      Women’s
     
     
      Soccer
      Championships
      held
      in
      Halifax.
     
     
      The
      past
      season
      was
      the
      Panther’s
      best
      ever
     
     
      as
      the
      team
      put
      together
      an
      impressive
      6-1-3
     
     
      record,
      good
      enough
      for
      third
      place
      in
      the
     
     
      league.
      The
      Panthers,
      who
      only
      recently
      came
     
     
      into
      existence,
      were
      also
      one
      of
      the
      top
      defen-
     
     
      sive
      teams
      in
      the
      league,
      allowing
      only
      four
     
     
      goals
      throughout
      the
      entire
      season.
     
     
      But
      on
      Saturday
      night
      Acadia
      got
      off
      to
      a
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Ti:
      1993
      soccer
      season
      came
      to
      an
      end
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      quick
      start,
      and
      Jennifer
      Andrews’
      goal
      early
      in
     
     
      the
      first
      half
      proved
      to
      be
      the
      goal
      that
      would
     
     
      end
      the
      Panthers’
      season.
      Despite
      a
      terrific
     
     
      effort
      by
      the
      Panthers,
      Acadia
      kept
      them
      score-
     
     
      less
      throughout
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      hard-played
     
     
      game,
      winning
      1-0.
     
    

    
     
      Despite
      the
      loss,
      the
      Panthers
      still
      proved
     
     
      themselves
      to
      be
      a
      serious
      contender
      in
      the
     
     
      league,
      a
      remarkable
      feat
      considering
      that
      the
     
     
      team
      has
      only
      been
      in
      existence
      for
      four
      years.
     
     
      This
      team,
      which
      has
      been
      improving
      each
      year
     
     
      since
      its
      inaugural
      season,
      made
      the
      playoffs
      for
     
     
      only
      the
      first
      time
      last
      year,
      losing
      4-0
      to
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Hockey
      Panthers

      week-end
     
    
   
   
    
     
      shown
      up.
      After
      a
      string
      of
      poorly-
     
    

    
     
      played
      games
      in
      which
      they
      were
     
     
      outscored
      29-13,
      the
      U.P.E.I.
      Panthers
      came
      up
     
     
      with
      their
      best
      performance
      of
      the
      season
      last
     
     
      Saturday
      night
      at
      the
      Charlottetown
      Civic
      Cen-
     
     
      tre.
      After
      trailing
      for
      most
      of
      the
      game,
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      scored
      three
      third
      period
      goals
      in
      less
     
     
      than
      four
      minutes,
      earning
      a
      4-4
      tie
      with
      the
      St.
     
     
      Mary’s
      Huskies.
      The
      tie
      allowed
      the
      Panthers
      to
     
     
      snap
      a
      four-game
      losing
      streak
      and
      improve
     
     
      their
      record
      to
      0-4-2
      heading
      into
      last
      Tuesday’s
     
     
      game
      against
      the
      Mt.
      Allison
      Mounties.
     
    

    
     
      St.
      Mary’s
      opened
      the
      scoring
      at
      the
      10:19
     
     
      mark
      of
      the
      first
      period
      when
      Aron
      MacQuarrie
     
     
      found
      himself
      alone
      in
      front
      of
      Panther
      goalie
     
     
      Troy
      Barr
      and
      snapped
      a
      quick
      ten-footer
      past
     
     
      the
      goalie’s
      glove
      side.
      St.
      Mary’s,
      taking
      ad-
     
     
      vantage
      of
      a
      shaky
      start
      by
      U.P.E.I.,
      dominated
     
     
      much
      of
      the
      period,
      forcing
      Barr
      to
      make
      a
     
     
      number
      of
      sharp
      saves
      to
      keep
      his
      team
      close.
     
     
      St.
      Mary’s,
      however,
      upped
      the
      score
      to
      2-0
      on
     
     
      a
      gift
      goal
      as
      Alex
      Herbison’s
      slapshot
      from
      the
     
     
      top
      of
      the
      face-off
      circle
      struck
      a
      Panther
     
     
      defenceman
      in
      front
      of
      the
      net
      and
      bounced
      into
     
     
      the
      goal.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Panthers
      came
      to
      life
      in
      the
      second
     
     
      period,
      especially
      on
      the
      power
      play,
      spending
     
     
      much
      of
      the
      play
      in
      the
      Huskies’
      end.
      This
      time,
     
     
      it
      was
      St.
      Mary’s
      goaltender
      Graeme
      Harvey
     
     
      who
      was
      forced
      to
      make
      big
      stops
      to
      keep
      his
     
     
      team
      in
      the
      lead;
      however,
      after
      being
      held
     
     
      scoreless
      for
      the
      first
      sixteen
      minutes
      of
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      20/X-Press/November

      entirely
      different
      team
      had
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      game,
      the
      Panthers
      got
      on
      the
      scoreboard
      when
     
     
      Paul
      Crabbe
      took
      a
      pass
      from
      Ken
      MacDougall
     
     
      from
      behind
      the
      net
      and
      one-timed
      a
      hard
      shot
     
     
      along
      the
      ice,
      beating
      Harvey
      to
      the
      glove
      side.
     
     
      St.
      Mary’s
      retaliated
      seconds
      later
      as
      Jerret
     
     
      DeFazio
      beat
      Barr
      to
      make
      the
      score
      3-1
      head-
     
     
      ing
      into
      the
      second
      period.
     
    

    
     
      The
      first
      five
      minutes
      of
      the
      third
      period
      was
     
     
      all
      U.P.E.I.
      as
      they
      scored
      three
      fast
      goals
      to
     
     
      take
      their-first
      lead
      of
      the
      game.
      After
      K.J.
     
     
      White
      opened
      the
      scoring
      just
      over
      a
      minute
     
     
      into
      the
      period,
      Cory
      Power
      took
      a
      rebound
      and
     
     
      fired
      the
      puck
      into
      the
      empty
      side
      of
      the
      net
      to
     
     
      tie
      the
      game.
      The
      Panthers
      took
      the
      lead
      when
     
     
      White
      scored
      his
      second
      goal
      of
      the
      period,
     
     
      sliding
      a
      John
      Nelson
      pass
      between
      the
      legs
      of
     
     
      the
      falling
      Huskies’
      goalie.
      The
      lead
      lasted
      only
     
     
      two
      minutes,
      though,
      as
      DeFazio
      scored
      his
     
     
      second
      goal
      of
      the
      game
      with
      14:25
      left
      in
     
     
      regulation
      time.
      The
      teams,
      with
      time
      winding
     
     
      down,
      played
      cautious
      hockey
      throughout
      the
     
     
      remainder
      of
      the
      period
      and
      into
      the
      five
      minute
     
     
      overtime
      period.
      The
      overtime
      was
      scoreless,
     
     
      resulting
      in
      the
      4-4
      tie,
      and
      the
      Panthers
      earned
     
     
      their
      first
      point
      at
      home
      this
      season.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Panthers
      hit
      the
      road
      this
      weekend,
     
     
      travelling
      to
      Fredericton,
      New
      Brunswick,
      where
     
     
      they

      Friday

      Huskies.
      This
      year
      they
      continued
      their
      pattern
     
     
      of
      improving
      each
      year
      and
      proved
      that
      they
     
     
      could
      play
      with
      the
      best
      in
      this
      league.
     
     
      Acadia

      on
      Sunday
      against
