      he
      UPEI
      Lady
      Panthers
      were
      eager
      to
     
     
      0%
      make
      up
      for
      their
      one
      point
      loss
      to
     
     
      Dalhousie
      on
      Friday
      when
      they
      faced
     
     
      off
      against
      St.
      FX
      on
      Sunday.
     
    

    
     
      The
      first
      half
      saw
      both
      teams
      evenly
     
     
      matched,
      and
      at
      the
      half
      the
      score
      was
      close.
      In
     
     
      the
      second
      half,
      St.
      FX
      began
      to
      pull
      away.
     
     
      Their
      constant
      defensive
      pressure
      caused
      some
     
     
      problems
      for
      the
      Panthers.
     
    

    
     
      The
      game
      was
      still
      in
      reach
      when
      UPEI
     
     
      shooters
      Quinn
      and
      Dickinson
      nailed,
      in
      total,
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      three
      three-point
      shots.
      In
      the
      end
      the
      St.
      FX
     
     
      team
      prevailed.
      The
      final
      score
      was
      St.
      FX
      81,
     
     
      UPEI
      71.
     
    

    
     
      The
      UPEI
      Men’s
      team,
      after
      their
      victory
     
     
      over
      Dalhousie
      on
      Friday,
      took
      to
      the
      court
      after
     
     
      the
      ladies’
      game.
      The
      Panthers
      faced
      the
      de-
     
     
      fending
      CIAU
      Champions,
      the
      St.
      FX
      X-Men.
     
     
      UPEI
      started
      off
      well
      and
      by
      half
      had
      mounted
     
     
      a
      45-38
      lead.
      The
      second
      half
      saw
      UPEI
      break
     
     
      away.
      Some
      excellent
      shooting
      and
      great
      defense
     
     
      paved
      the
      way
      to
      a
      UPEI
      victory.
      The
      final

      schedule
      by
      losing
     
     
      their
      last
      three
      home
      games
      to
      finish
      the
     
     
      first
      half
      of
      the
      schedule
      with
      a
      record
      of
      2-9-2.
     
     
      Last
      Wednesday
      at
      the
      Civic
      Centre,
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      hosted
      the
      MacAdam
      division-leading
     
     
      Moncton
      Blue
      Eagles.
      The
      game
      was
      the
      sec-
     
     
      ond
      of
      the
      year
      between
      these
      MacAdam
      divi-
     
     
      sion
      rivals.
      The
      two
      teams
      met
      in
      Moncton
      in
     
     
      October
      with
      the
      game
      ending
      in
      an
      8-8
      tie.
     
     
      On
      Wednesday,
      it
      looked
      as
      though
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      once
      again
      had
      their
      offensive
      game
      in
     
     
      gear.
      Only
      the
      first-rate
      goaltending
      by
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ci
      he
      UPEI
      Panthers
      hockey
      team
      ended
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Moncton’s
      Frantz
      Bergevin
      kept
      the
      Panthers
     
     
      from
      winning
      easily,
      as
      they
      played
      their
      best
     
     
      offensive
      game
      of
      the
      year
      with
      numerous
      scor-
     
     
      ing
      chances
      throughout
      the
      game;
      however,
     
     
      Moncton
      capitalized
      on
      most
      of
      their
      own
      scor-
     
     
      ing
      chances
      and
      took
      a
      big
      5-1
      lead
      early
      in
      the
     
     
      final
      period.
     
    

    
     
      UPEI
      did
      not
      quit
      and
      narrowed
      the
      score
      to
     
     
      5-4
      in
      the
      late
      stages
      of
      the
      game.
      The
      Panthers
     
     
      pulled
      goaltender
      Troy
      Barr
      with
      a
      minute
      left,
     
     
      but
      were
      unable
      to
      put
      any
      pressure
      on
      the
      Blue
     
     
      Eagles
      and
      instead
      allowed
      an
      empty-net
      goal,
     
     
      giving
      the
      Blue
      Eagles
      a
      6-4
      win.

      1993
     
    
   
   
    
     
      On
      Saturday
      night,
      the
      Panthers
      tried
      their
     
     
      luck
      against
      the
      St.
      Thomas
      Tommies.
      They
     
     
      battled
      the
      Fredericton
      school
      to
      a
      1-1
      draw
     
     
      after
      the
      first
      period,
      but
      fell
      apart
      defensively
     
     
      in
      the
      second
      period
      and
      allowed
      four
      Tommies
     
     
      goals,
      including
      a
      short-handed
      effort,
      with
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      trailing
      5-3
      by
      the
      third
      period.
     
    

    
     
      Goals
      by
      K.J.
      White
      and
      Ron
      Clough
      tied
      the
     
     
      score
      nine
      minutes
      into
      the
      period,
      but
      St.
     
     
      Thomas’
      Craig
      Conohan
      took
      the
      puck
      from
      the
     
     
      face-off
      deep
      in
      the
      Panthers’
      zone,
      skated
      in
     
     
      front
      of
      goalie
      Kevin
      MacDougall,
      and
      lifted
      a
     
     
      high
      backhander
      over
      the
      netminder’s
      glove
      for
     
     
      the
      winning
      goal.
      The
      Panthers
      pulled
      their
     
     
      goalie
      for
      the
      extra
      attacker
      and
      had
      a
      faceoff
      in
     
     
      the
      Tommies’
      zone
      with
      four
      seconds
      left
      but
     
     
      couldn’t
      get
      the
      equalizer.
      The
      final
      score
      was
     
     
      6-5.
     
    

    
     
      On
      Sunday,
      also
      against
      the
      Tommies,
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      battled
      a
      hard-fought
      first
      period
      hold-
     
     
      ing
      St.
      Thomas
      to
      a
      0-0
      tie.
      But
      as
      was
      the
      case
     
     
      the
      night
      before,
      the
      Panthers
      fell
      apart
      defen-
     
     
      sively
      in
      the
      second
      period,
      allowing
      St.
      Thomas
     
     
      to
      put
      the
      game
      away
      with
      four
      goals.
      The
     
     
      Panthers
      ran
      out
      of
      steam
      and
      were
      unable
      to
     
     
      mount
      much
      pressure
      in
      the
      third.
      A
      goal
      by
      St.
     
     
      Thomas
      eighteen
      seconds
      into
      the
      period
      se-
     
     
      cured
      the
      victory,
      making
      the
      score
      5-1.
      St.
     
     
      Thomas
      got
      their
      offence
      from
      five
      different
     
     
      goal
      scorers.
      UPEI’s
      lone
      goal
      came
      off
      the
     
     
      stick
      of
      captain
      K.J.
      White,
      on
      a
      breakaway.
     
    

    
     
      UPEI’s
      frustration
      with
      the
      two
      weekend
     
     
      losses
      to
      St.
      Thomas,
      as
      well
      as
      a
      poor
