      Split
     
     
      Weekend
      Tilt
     
    

    
     
      After
      splitting
      games
     
     
      with
      the
      UCCB
      Capers
      this
      week-
     
     
      end
      the
      men's
      basketball
      panthers
     
     
      find
      themselves
      look
      up
      at
      St.
      FX
     
     
      and
      UCCB
      in
      the
      Atlantic
     
     
      Conference
      standings.
      The
      pan-
     
     
      thers
      currently
      sit
      tied
      with
      UNB
     
     
      for
      third
      spot
      with
      one
      game
      in
     
     
      hand.
     
    

    
     
      On
      Saturday,
      the
      boys
     
     
      hosted
      the
      Capers
      of
      UCCB
      after
     
     
      raising
      their
      AUS
      banner
      from
      last
     
     
      year.
      The
      game
      didn't
      go
      according
     
     
      to
      plan
      as
      the
      panthers
      were
      unable
     
     
      to
      get
      on
      a
      roll
      offensively.
     
     
      However,
      they
      were
      able
      to
      squeak
     
     
      out
      a
      60-53
      victory
      through
      with
     
     
      hard
      defensive
      hustle
      and
      by
      capi-
     
     
      talizing
      on
      key
      rebounding
      oppor-
     
     
      tunities.
     
    

    
     
      Mike
      Kierstead
      had
      an
     
     
      instrumental
      impact
      on
      this
      game
     
     
      as
      he
      pulled
      down
      14
      rebounds
      to
     
     
      compliment
      his
      5
      steal
      and
      7
     
     
      points.
      Also
      scoring
      for
      the
      pan-
      -
     
     
      thers
      were
      Sherone
      Edwards
      and
     
     
      Kenny
      Duncan
      with
      12
      points
      a
     
     
      piece,
      and
      Jeff
      Walker
      with
      a
      game
     
     
      high
      15
      points.
     
    

    
     
      Sunday
      was
      much
      of
     
     
      the
      same
      lack
      of
      offence
      for
      the
     
     
      panthers
      but
      unfortunately
      this
     
     
      effort
      wasn't
      enough
      to
      sweep
      the
     
     
      series.
      The
      panthers
      dropped
      their
     
     
      Sunday
      game
      to
      the
      Capers
      by
      a
     
     
      final
      score
      of
      68-66.
      The
      win
      for
     
     
      the
      Capers
      bumped
      their
      record
      to
     
     
      4-2
      while
      our
      panthers
      record
      fell
     
     
      to
      3-2.
     
    

    
     
      The
      guys
      are
      still
      in
      good
      shape
     
     
      and
      with
      nothing
      to
      panic
      over,
      the
     
     
      boys
      will
      have
      to
      pick
      up
      their
      play
     
     
      after
      the
      xmas
      break
      if
      they
      wish
      to
     
     
      get
      a
      first
      round
      bye
      into
      the
      play-
     
     
      offs.
      And
      you
      can
      be
      sure
      the
      pan-
     
     
      thers
      will
      be
      looking
      for
      revenge
     
     
      on
      the
      Capers
      as
      they
      will
      clash

      they
      are
      on
      top
      of
      the
      Nelson
     
     
      Division
      in
      the
      Atlantic
      Conference
     
     
      with
      their
      two
      victories
      against
      the
     
     
      panthers
      this
      past
      weekend.
      On
     
     
      Saturday,
      the
      Panthers
      dropped
     
     
      their
      home
      opener
      to
      the
      Capers
     
     
      74-66.
      After
      sitting
      behind
      the
     
     
      eight
      ball
      from
      the
      get
      go,
      with
      an
     
     
      opening
      21-5
      run,
      the
      panthers
      set-
     
     
      tled
      down
      and
      made
      a
      game
      of
      it.
     
     
      The
      lady
      panthers
      were
      able
      to
     
     
      claw
      back
      at
      halftime
      only
      to
      trail
     
     
      by
      three
      37-34.
      The
      girls
      gave
      it
      a
     
     
      valiant
      effort
      but
      were
      unable
      to
     
    
   
   
    
     
      contain
      the
      50%
      field
      goal
      percent-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      age
      by
      the
      women
      Capers
      in
      the
     
     
      second
      half.
     
    

    
     
      Scoring
      for
      the
      panthers
     
     
      was
      Katherine
      Walters
      with
      16
      and
     
     
      Melissa
      Campbell
      who
      showed
     
    
   
   
    
     
      why
      she
      has
      to
      be
      considered
      an
     
     
      early
      season
      favourite
      for
      the
      AUS
     
     
      rookie
      of
      the
      year
      honours
      as
      she
     
     
      poured
      in
      a
      game-high
      21
      points
      to
     
     
      go
      with
      6
      rebounds
      and
      4
      assists.
     
     
      On
      Sunday,
      they
      went
     
     
      at
      it
      again
      as
      both
      teams
      brought
     
     
      their
      offensive
      games,
      or
      perhaps
     
     
      forgot
      their
      defensive
      ones
      as
      the
     
     
      final
      score
      rounded
      out
      to
      92-80,
      in
     
     
      favour
      of
      UCCB.
      The
      girls
      shot
     
     
      well,
      but
      were
      outmatched
      by
     
     
      UCCB.
      Anytime
      you
      can

      team
      in
      a
      position

      win.
      You
      can
      be
      sure
      these
      girls
     
     
      will

      out
      firing

      on
      the

      what
      so
      ever.
      They
     
     
      were
      able
      to
      jump
      out
      to
      an

      2-0

      to
      3-0
      as
      they
