     The eight freshman on 
     
     the UPEI women’s basketball 
     
     team were initiated into the 
     
     world of university play in fine 
     
     style on Halloween weekend 
     
     when the Panthers captured 
     
     the Laval Rouge et Or 
     
     Invitational Tournament. 
     
    

    
     The girls played three 
     
     strong games on the way to 
     
     the title, each contest being 
     
     won by a true team effort. 
     
     Coach Tracy Ellsworth made 
     
     many substitutions and every- 
     
     one gota lot of playing time. It 
     
     didn’t seem to matter who was 
     
     on the floor; the team's offen- 
     
     sive play and defensive play 
     
     remained excellent. 
     
    

    
     On Friday evening the 
     
     women defeated Queens 71- 
     
     53, led by Jennifer Johnston’s 
     
     twenty points and the work of 
     
     Martine Geoffrion and Kate 
     
     Ellis onthe boards: each pulled 
     
    
   
   
    
     down fourteen rebounds. The 
     
     next day our Panthers thanked 
     
     their nationally-ranked host 
     
     team forthe invitation by hand- 
     
     ing them a61-51 loss, ledagain 
     
     by Jennifer Johnston with nine- 
     
     teen points. 
     
    

    
     The highlight ofthe week- 
     
     end was the final match, 
     
     against the University of Ot- 
     
     tawa GeeGees on Sunday. 
     
     Amy Doorenecamp replaced 
     
     regular Krista Connolly, but 
     
     did not disappoint. 
     
     Doorenecamp nailed three 
     
     three-pointers as part of her 
     
     thirteen-pointcontribution, and 
     
     Laval native Geoffrion led the 
     
     second half of play with twelve 
     
     points. The Panthers went on 
     
     to trounce the GeeGees by 
     
     over twenty points, witha score 
     
     of 76-52. Special congratula- 
     
     tions to Jennifer Johnston who 
     
     was named Tounament MVP. 
     
     Next the girls travel to Halifax 
     
     to take part in the DAL Sub- 
     
     way Classic. Good luck, girls!
