      keeper
      who
      had
      to
     
     
      work
      very
      hard
      to
      keep
     
     
      the
      Panthers
      to
      two

      UPEI

      game
      of
      their

      Using
      their
      excellent
     
     
      ability
      to
      pass,
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      were
      able
      to
     
     
      outplay
      the
      Capers,
      as
     
     
      they
      have
      outplayed
     
     
      most
      teams

      appritiation
      of

      the

      The

      UPEI
     
     
      continued
      to
      keep
      their
     
     
      playoff
      hopes
      alive
      by
     
     
      edging
      UCCB
      1-0.
     
     
      Captain

      Birch
      scored
      the

      by
      a

      Baker
      in
      the
      second
     
     
      half.
      After
      the
      win,
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      had
      to
      wait
     
     
      for
      the
      outcome
      of
      the
     
     
      Memorial
      game

      would
      make
      the
     
     
      playoffs
      or
      not.
     
     
      Unfortunately
     
    
   
   
    
     
      for
      UPEL,
      the

      game,
      5-3,
      dashing
     
     
      Panther

      hopes.
     
     
      The
      Lady
     
     
      Panthers
      had
      a
      rough
     
     
      start
      to
      the
      season,
      but
     
     
      had
      improved
      in
      the
     
     
      second
      half.
      The
