      The
      men's
      soccer
      panthers
     
     
      picked
      up
      where
      they
      left
      off
      last
     
     
      year
      as
      they
      continued
      their
      dom-
     
     
      inancy
      of
      the
      Atlantic
      division.
     
     
      Recently
      the
      boys
      completed
      an
     
     
      undefeated
      weekend
      of
      solid
      soc-

      over
      the
     
     
      Mount
      Allison
      Mounties
      and
      set-
     
     
      tled
      for
      a
      hard

      against
     
     
      X-men
      of
      St.

      Xavier.
     
    

    
     
      Midfielder
      Martein
      Hakkers
      led
     
     
      the
      way
      for
      our
      panthers
      by
      capi-

      on
      two
      of

      nine
     
     
      scoring
      chances

      UPEI
      the
     
     
      2-1
      victory.

      through
      the
     
     
      first
      half
      he
      took
      a
      brilliant
      feed
     
     
      from
      Jordan
      Chandler
      up
      the
      left
     
     
      side
      and
      used
      his
      speed
      the
      rest
     
     
      of
      the
      way
      to

      on
      the
      flat
     
     
      footed
      Mountie
      defender.
      Then,
     
     
      with
      the
      Mountie
      defence
      press-
     
     
      ing
      for
      the
      equalizer,
      Hakkers
     
     
      took
      another
      great
      pass
      from
     
     
      Ryan
      Anstey
      and
      put
      the
      game
     
     
      out
      of
      reach
      in
      the
      seventy-third
     
     
      minute.
     
    

    
     
      Andrew
      MacCormack
      also
      gave
     
     
      a
      strong
      showing
      in
      the
      game
     
     
      allowing
      a
      lone
      goal
      in
      the
      sixtieth
     
     
      minute
      while
      shutting
      down
      the
     
     
      Mounties

      the
      remainder
      of

      a
     
     
      10-6
      margin,
      but
      more
      important-
     
     
      ly
      out
      chanced
      them
      9-3.
     
    

    
     
      On
      Saturday,
      the
      men
      opened
     
     
      their
      season
      against
      St.
      FX
      with
      a
     
     
      1-1
      draw.
      Ryan
      Anstey
      was
      the
     
     
      only
      one
      able
      to
      find
      the
      back
      of
     
     
      the
      net
      against
      the
      Xavier
      keeper
     
    
   
   
    
     
      as
      he
      scored
      the
      lone
      goal
      for
      the
     
     
      panthers
      in
      the
      first
      half.
      The
      only
     
     
      glitch
      in
      the
      panthers
      defence
     
     
      occurred
      five
      minutes
      prior
      to
     
     
      halftime
      as
      the
      X-men
      capitalized
     
     
      on
      a
      free
      kick
      from
      the
      side
      of
      the
     
     
      eighteen
      yard
      box,
      and
      were
      able
     
     
      to
      elude
      McCormack
      who
      played
     
     
      a
      remarkable
      game
      between
      the
     
     
      pipes.
     
    

    
     
      Strong
      defence,
      stellar
      goal-
     
     
      tending
      and
      timely
      goals
      are
      the
     
     
      panthers
      specialty.

      The
      women
      panthers
      also
      got
      off
     
     
      to
      a
      good
      start
      last
      weekend
      by
     
     
      splitting
      their

      against
      Mt.
     
     
      Allison
      and
      St.

      Kim
      Hickox
      and
     
     
      Leisa
      Nogler
      entrusted
      the

      women's
      backfield
      to

      they
      were
      ready

      With
      Lacey

      Ellen

      on

      middle
      and
     
     
      Melissa
      Campbell
      as
      sweeper,
     
     
      the
      four
      freshmen
      shut
      down
      the
     
     
      experience
      of
      the
      Mounties
      by
     
     
      stopping
      them
      from
      accumulating
     
     
      any
      real
      threats
      against
      Gillis.
     
    

    
     
      In
      the
      54th
      minute,
      Katie
     
     
      MacNevin
      lobbed
      a
      perfect
      cross
     
     
      to
      Liz
      MacPhail
      who
      capatilized
     
     
      on
      the
      game
      winner.
      Then
      it
      was
     
     
      the
      combination
      of
      a
      few
      juniors
     
     
      that
      sealed
      the
      victory
      for
      the
     
     
      panthers
      as
      Allison

      wheels
      of

      er.
      :
     
    

    
     
      However,
      it
      was
      a
      tentative
      start
     
     
      to
      the
      season
      as
      the
      lady
      pan-
     
     
      thers
      dropped
      the
      opener

      to
      a
     
     
      tough
      St.
      FX
      opponent.
      The
     
     
      chances
      were
      limited
      but
      the
      girls
     
     
      played
      a
      fine
      defensive
      game.
