The Hockey Panthers came 
     
     out of the weekend only two 
     
     points down of the Moncton 
     
     Blue Eagles, with a game in 
     
     hand. The big confrontation 
     
     will take place this Sunday in 
     
     Moncton. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Against UNB there were 
     
     marked improvements, namely 
     
     goaltending. Rob Brown has 
     
     been steadily improving since 
     
     taking over the starting job 
     
     and the Panthers are going to 
     
     need a netminder with a head 
     
     on his shoulders to make it 
     
     down the stretch. Rob and 
     
     Trent henr yboth fit this mould. 
     
    
   
   
    
     UPEI was never really pres- 
     
     sed and basically out-talented 
     
     the Red Devils last weekend. 
     
     Scores were 6-4 on Saturday 
     
     and 6-3 on Sunday. The Puck

     The men’s basketball team 
     
     ventured into the U.S.A. for 
     
     the third time this year. Team 
     
     captain Mike Morgan stayed 
     
     home due to minor nagging 
     
     injuries but should be back in 
     
     action this weekend. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Panthers visited the 
     
     University of Maine at 
     
     Machias for games on Sat. and 
     
     Sunday. Saturday’s game saw 
     
     the Panthers lose 76 - 62. Sun- 
     
     day, our beloved Canadians 
     
     put forth a better effort but it 
     
     was also a losing cause, 55-50. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Rumor has it that some Mor- 
     
     rison guy (and it wasn’t Scotty) 
     
     got kicked out of Sunday’s 
     
     game. I just can’t believe it, 
     
     can you? 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Panthers play host to 
     
     UNB on Friday and Saturday. 
     
     The Redmen boast two of the 
     
     top perimeter players in the 
     
     conference in Bob Aucoin and 
     
     Andy Hayward. With thelikes 
     
     of Morgan, Peter Gordon, Steve 
     
     Ruiz, and the ominous Alumni 
     
     Gym present, the Panthers 
     
     shouldn’t have too many prob-

     must wins for both teams as 
     
     the two will most likely be 
     
     fighting for the final playoff 
     
     spot in the AUAA. Game times

     Lady Panthers at UNB 
     
    
   
   
    
     By Bobby Campbell 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Lady Panthers basket- 
     
     ball team took their undefeated 
     
     record into Frederiction to take 
     
     on the perennial power UNB. 
     
     The girls gave it a fine effort 
     
     but unfortunately lost in over- 
     
     time, 65-61. Ria Bahadursingh 
     
     led the Panthers with 19 pts., 
     
     and Tracey MacKachern had 
     
     10. The score at the half was 
     
     41-37 for UNB and tied at 57 at 
     
     the end of the regulation time. 
     
     The ladies still retain first place 
     
     and are looking good for the 
     
     playoffs. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Next action for the Lady P’s 
     
     is not until Jan.31 at home 
     
     against Acadia.

     The volleyball Panthers split 
     
     with Memorial university of 
     
     Newfoundland this past week- 
     
     end. On saturday it went down 
     
     to the last game. Unfortunate- 
     
     ly, our ladies lost the game 15- 
     
     13 and the match 3-2. The next 
     
     day was a different story as 
     
    
   
   
    
     the Lady P’s spiked their way 
     
     to a 3-1 win. The team’s next 
     
     action is on Jan.31 when the 
     
     powerhouse Dal Tigers visit 
     
     the Alumni Gymnasium.

     ball squad, the only undefeated 
     
     team in the AUAA women’s 
     
     league, venture into Frederic- 
     
     ton on Sunday to play an al- 
     
     ways tough UNB team. The 
     
     last time these two teams met, 
     
     UPEI fought for a close 66-61 
     
     win. j
