The
      men's
      hockey
      team
     
     
      faced
      off
      against
      rival
      university
     
     
      St.
      Thomas
      last
      Monday,
      and
      had
     
     
      a
      chance
      to
      seal
      a
      spot
      in
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      playoffs
      with
      a
      victory.
     
     
      Unfortunately,
      the
      Panthers
      ran
     
     
      out
      of
      gas
      in
      the
      third
      period
      and
     
     
      lost
      to
      the
      Tommies
      by
      a
      final
     
     
      score
      of
      4-2.
     
    

    
     
      After
      allowing
      the
      first
      goal
     
     
      of
      the
      game
      a
      mere
      three
      and
      a
     
     
      half
      minutes
      into
      the
      first
      frame,
     
     
      the
      Panthers
      seemed
      to
      be
      firing
     
     
      on
      all
      -cylinders
      after
      the
     
     
      Tommies'
      tally.
      Shortly
      after-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      wards
      the
      men
      responded
      with
      a
     
     
      goal
      of
      their
      own
      on
      the
      power
     
     
      play
      when
      Lorne
      Misita
      tipped
     
     
      the
      puck
      just
      past
      the
      Tommies'
     
     
      goalie
      off
      a
      weak
      shot
      from
      the
     
     
      point
      by
      Adam
      Rivet.
      Just
      over
      a
     
     
      minute
      after
      the
      tying
      goal,
     
     
      Ontario
      native
      Adam
      Campbell
     
     
      received
      a
      game
      misconduct
      for
     
     
      checking
      from
      behind,
      leaving
      a
     
     
      big
      hole
      in
      the
      Panther's
      blueline.
     
     
      Despite
      this,
      the
      men
      kept
      the
     
     
      pressure
      on,
      outshooting
      the
     
     
      Tommies
      17-6.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Panthers
      quickly
      took
     
     
      the
      lead
      in
      the
      second
      period
     
     
      when
      Misita
      recorded
      his
      second
     
     
      goal
      of
      the
      game,
      roofing
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      puck
      past
      the
      netminder,
      with
     
     
      assists
      coming
      from
      Derek
     
     
      Hennessey
      and
      Adam
      Rivet.
      The
     
     
      men
      were
      unable
      to
      keep
      the
      lead
     
     
      into
      the
      third,
      as
      they
      allowed
      the
     
     
      tying
      goal
      late
      in
      the
      second
      peri-
     
     
      od
      on
      the
      penalty
      kill.
     
    

    
     
      It
      didn't
      take
      long
      for
      the
      tie
     
     
      to
      be
      broken
      as
      poor
      passing
      in
     
     
      the
      Panther
      zone
      resulted
      in
      the
     
     
      go
      ahead
      goal
      by
      Tommies'
      for-
     
     
      ward
      Robin
      Boucher.
      Although
     
     
      the
      men
      continued
      to
      fire
      plenty
     
     
      of
      shots
      at
      St.
      Thomas'
      goalie,
     
     
      poor
      passing
      and
      horrible
      puck
     
     
      control
      seemed
      to
      be
      ravaging
     
     
      the
      team.
      In
      an
      effort
      to
      score
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      tying
      goal
      the
      Panthers
      ae
     
    
   
   
    
     
      their
      goalie,
      but
      the
      Tommies
     
     
      iced
      the
      game
      with
      an
      empty
      net
     
     
      goal
      scored
      by
      Kyle
      McAllister.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Panthers
      looked
      great
      in
     
     
      the
      first
      two
      periods
      handling
      the
     
     
      puck
      well
      and
      creating
      a
      number
     
     
      of
      excellent
      scoring
      chances.
     
     
      However,
      they
      were
      just
      the
     
     
      opposite
      of
      that
      in
      the
      third
      peri-
     
     
      od.
      They
      seemed
      to
      be
      on
      their
     
     
      heels
      and
      looked
      nothing
      like
     
     
      they
      did
      in
      the
      first
      and
      second.
     
     
      Although
      the
      men
      lost,
      Lorne
     
     
      Misita
      played
      an
      excellent
      game
     
     
      recording
      two
      goals,
      while
      third
     
     
      year
      veteran
      Adam
      Rivet
      tallied
     
     
      two
      assists.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Our
      panthers
      women's
      bas-
     
     
      ketball
      team
      is
      not
      ready
      to
      call
      it
     
     
      quits
      on
      this
      season
      just
      yet.
     
     
      Although
      the
      girls
      now
      sit
      with
      a
      5-
     
     
      11
      record
      they
      are
      still
      capable
      of
     
     
      making
      the
      playoffs.
      The
      girls
      will
     
     
      have
      to
      come
      out
      hard
      like
      they
      did
     
     
      against
      St.
      Mary's
      and
      Pethousie
     
     
      before
      the
      break.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Saturday
      before
      the
     
     
      break
      saw
      the
      UPEI
      Panthers
      take
      it
     
    
   
   
    
     
      to
      the
      St.
      Mary's
      Huskies
      in
      what
     
    
   
   
    
     
      could
      be
      considered
      their
      most
      deci-
     
     
      sive
      win
      of
      the
      season.
      The
      girls
     
     
      won
      the
      game
      convincingly
      by
      a
     
     
      final
      score
      of
      68-58,
      but
      the
      most
     
     
      impressive
      thing
      was
      that
      four
      of
     
     
      the
      girls
      posted
      double
      digit
      points.
     
     
      Leading
      the
      way
      for
      the
      panthers
     
     
      was
      Katherine
      Walters
      with
      15,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Tasha
      Eadie
      and
      rookie
      M.
      Cc.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Connolly
      potted
      12
      points
      apiece
     
    
   
   
    
     
      while
      Lindsey
      Coade
      chipped
      in
      |
     
    
   
   
    
     
      with
      10
      points.
     
    

    
     
      After
      jumping
      out
      on
     
     
      Sunday
      to
      an
      early
      15
      point
      lead,
     
     
      the
      panthers
      allowed
      Dalhousie
      to
     
    
   
   
    
     
      creep
      back
      into
      the
      game
      and
      ulti-
     
     
      mately
      watched
      the
      game
      slip
      right
     
     
      out
      of
      their
      hands.
      At
      halftime
      the
     
     
      teams
      were
      all
      tied
      up
      33-33,
      and
     
     
      they
      worked
      their
      way
      through
      the
     
     
      second
      half
      by
      trading
      buckets
      until
     
     
      the
      final
      minute.
      With
      only
      a
      few
     
     
      seconds
      left
      on
      the
      clock
      and
      the
     
     
      panthers
      down
      58-60
      until
      Katie
     
     
      Andrews
      drained
      a
      huge
      three
     
     
      pointer
      with
      only
      3
      seconds
      remain-
     
     
      ing.
      But
      it
      was
      all
      for
      nothing
      as
      the
     
     
      Tigers
      were
      able
      to
      draw
      up
      quick
     
     
      play
      that
      saw
      the
      Dalhousie
      player
     
     
      launch
      up
      a
      prayer
      at
      the
      buzzer
      that
     
     
      unfortunately
      for
      the
      panthers,
      was
     
     
      answered.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The

      up
      their
      season
     
     
      last
      week
      in
      similar
      fashion
      as
     
     
      when
      they
      began
      by
      dropping
     
     
      their
      final
      game
      4-1.
      Although
     
     
      the
      girls
      season
      hasn't
      been
      all
     
     
      they
      had
      hoped
      for,
      there
      have
     
     
      been
      improvements
      made
      and
     
     
      the
