      The
      UPEI
      men's
      soccer
     
     
      panthers
      are
      of
      to
      a
      great
      start
      this
     
     
      season.
      The
      boys
      hold
      an
      impres-
     
     
      sive,
      undefeated
      record
      of
      4-0-2
     
     
      after
      week
      three
      of
      the
      season.
      As
     
     
      it
      stands
      now,
      our
      panthers
      are
      sit-
     
     
      ting
      only
      one
      game
      back
      of
      UNB
     
     
      for
      top
      spot
      in
      the
      AUAA.
      You
      can
     
     
      attribute
      this
      success
      to
      the
      defense
     
     
      of
      the
      panthers
      as
      they
      have
     
     
      allowed
      the
      fewest
      goals
      in
      the
     
     
      entire
      conference.
     
    

    
     
      Last
      weekend
      wasn't
      Caper
     
     
      weekend
      as
      our
      boys
      bet
      up
      on
     
     
      them
      and
      took
      two
      games
      from
     
     
      them.
      It
      must
      be
      tough
      to
      drive
      all
     
     
      the
      way
      from
      Cape
      Breton
      when
     
     
      you
      know
      you
      are
      going
      to
      lose
     
     
      both
      games
      before
      you
      step
      on
      the
     
     
      field.
      The
      first
      match
      up,
      on
     
     
      Saturday,
      saw
      the
      Panthers
      take
     
     
      another
      close
      one
      1-0,
      as
      tempo-

      year,

      Pat
     
     
      O'Connell
      made
      the
      difference
      in
     
     
      the
      43rd
      minute
      by
      taking
      a
      feed
     
     
      from
      the
      rookie
      fullback,
      Mark
     
     
      Caudle.
      The
      boys

      man-
     
     
      handle
      the
      UCCB
      offence
      by
     
     
      allowing
      them
      to
      register
      only
      one
     
     
      shot
      on
      keeper
      Andrew
     
     
      MacCormack
      as
      he
      picked
      up
      his
     
     
      first
      shutout
      of
      the
      season.

      and
      out
     
     
      chanced
      them
      6-0.
     
    

    
     
      On
      Sunday
      it
      was
      much
      of
     
     
      the
      same
      domination
      as
      seen
      the
     
     
      day
      before.

      3-1
     
     
      victory
      over
      the
      Caper's.
      In
      the
     
     
      10th
      minute
      UPEI
     
     
      striker
      Ryan
      Anstey
      opened
      up
      the
     
     
      scoring
      and
      showed
      his
      true
      form,
     
     
      picking
      up
      a
      long
      ball
      down
      the
     
     
      left
      flank,
      beating
      his
      defender,
     
     
      crossing
      along
      the
      base
      line
      and

      inside

      near
      post
     
     
      against
      the
      falling
      UCCB
      keeper.
     
     
      Then,
      in
      the
      39th
      minute,
      Pat
     
     
      O'Connell
      iced
      it
      with
      the
      game
     
     
      winning
      goal
      on
      a
      penalty
      kick
      as
     
     
      he
      was
      hauled
      down
      by
      a
      helpless
     
     
      Caper
      defender.
      For
      insurance,
     
     
      Matt
      Thompson
      took
      the
      feed
      in
     
     
      the
      18
      yard
      box
      from
      Mark
      Beer
     
     
      and
      buried
      it.
      MacCormack
      looked
     
     
      poised
      for
      his
      second
      shutout
      of
      the
     
     
      weekend
      but
      it
      wasn't
      meant
      to
      be
     
     
      as
      he
      was
      eluded
      in
      the
      last
      minute
     
     
      of
      the
      game
      by
      Jordan

      UCCB
     
     
      by
      a
      10-4
      margin,
      and
      out
      chanced
     
     
      them
      6-3.
     
    

    
     
      This
      past
      weekend
      was
     
     
      another
      glorious
      one
      for
      the
      boys
     
     
      as
      they
      continued
      on
      with
      their
     
     
      unbeaten
      season.
      The
      boys
      won
     
     
      their
      game
      Saturday
      3-1,
      against
      an
     
     
      also
      undefeated
      UNB
      squad.
     
     
      Handing
      the
      Reds
      their
      first
      loss
      of
     
     
      the
      season
      sent
      a
      message
      to
      the
     
     
      rest
      of
      the
      conference
      about
      who
      is
     
     
      the
      team
      to
      beat.
      Unfortunately,
     
     
      due
      to
      the
      number
      of
      wins
      the
      Reds
     
     
      have
      and
      the
      two
      ties
      our
      panther's
     
     
      have
      this
      season,
      we
      are
      still
      one
     
     
      point
      behind
      them
      in
      the
      AUS
      for
     
     
      top
      spot.
     
    

    
     
      It
      didn't
      take
      long
      for
     
     
      MacCormack
      to
      obtain
      his
      second
     
     
      shut
      out
      of
      the
      season
      as
      the
     
     
      Panther's
      traveled
      to
      Mount
      Allison
     
     
      this
      past
      Sunday,
      only
      to
      come
     
     
      back
      to
      the
      Island
      with
      a
      0-0
      draw.
     
     
      The
      stingy
      defence
      of
      the
      Panthers
     
     
      rose
      to
      the
      top
      once
      again
      as
      they
     
     
      played
      sound
      defensively
      but
      were
     
     
      also
      held
      in
      check
      by
      the
      Mounties.

      The
      women
      tried
      their
     
     
      chances
      last
      weekend
      against
      the
     
     
      powerhouse
      offence
      from
      UCCB.
     
     
      UCCB
      is
      ranked
      fourth
      in
      the
     
     
      country
      and
      they
      showed
      whey
     
     
      against
      our
      panthers.
      On
      Saturday
     
     
      the
      Capers
      shutout
      the
      girls
      with
     
     
      the
      final
      score
      4-0.
      However,
      on
     
     
      Sunday
      the
      panthers
      gave
      them
     
     
      more
      of
      a
      game
      but
      ended
      up
      los-
     
     
      ing
      a
      close
      one
      2-1.
      It
      didn't
      look
     
     
      good
      early
      on
      as
      the
      Capers
      scored
     
     
      two
      goals
      in
      the
      first
      eight
      minutes,
     
     
      but
      the
      lady
      panthers
      held
      them
      in
     
     
      check
      for
      the
      remainder
      of
      the
     
     
      game
      and
      made
      it
      close
      in
      the
      69th
     
     
      minute
      as
      Liz
      MacPhail
      from
     
     
      Colonel
      Gray
      scored
      the
      first
      goal
     
     
      against
      the
      UCCB
      keeper
      this
      sea-
     
     
      son.
      The
      panthers
      pressed
      for
      the
     
     
      equalizer
      late
      in
      the
      game
      but
     
     
      couldn't
      get
      past
      the
      sparing
     
     
      defence
      of
      the
      Capers.
     
    

    
     
      The
      women's
      soccer
      panther's
     
     
      recently
      won
      an
      important
      game
     
     
      against
      their
      rivals
      from
      UNB
      2-0.
     
     
      The
      win
      puts
      the
      girls
      in
      a
      tie
      for
     
     
      third
      place
      in
      the
      conference
      with
     
     
      Acadia
      right
      behind
      the
      undefeated
     
     
      UCCB
      Capers
      and
      Dalhousie
     
     
      Tigers.
     
    

    
     
      Shutting
      the
      door
      for
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      was
      Ashley
      Gillis
      who
     
     
      gladly
      accepted
      the
      help
      from
      her
     
     
      defence
      as
      they
      limited
      the
      Reds
     
     
      scoring
      opportunities.

      named
      rookie
      of
      the
      year
      in
      her
     
     
      freshman
      year,
      followed
      up
      with
     
     
      AUS
      all-star
      nods
      in
      2002
      and

      timer

      fident
