‘he
      Panthers
      refused
      to
      quit
      as
      they
      spread
      the
      ball
     
     
      round
      to
      everyone
      and
      hung
      in.
      The
      Panthers
      were
     
     
      ble
      to
      knock
      down
      acouple
      of
      these
      and
      get
      some
     
     
      joints
      from
      Mark
      Cameron
      and
      Curtis
      Robinson
      to
     
     
      tay
      even
      with
      the
      Capers.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      he
      game
      was
      up
      for
      grabs
      right
      up
      to
      until
      the
      last
     
     
      linute.
      Then
      the
      Panthers
      were
      guilty
      ofa
      couple
      of
     
     
      ostly
      turnovers.
      The
      Capers
      sized
      the
      opportunity
     
     
      nd
      went
      to
      their
      money
      man
      Fones
      inside.
      The
     
     
      anthers
      just
      couldn’t
      handle
      him
      and
      he
      scored
      back
     
     
      )
      back
      baskets
      that
      iced
      the
      game.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Ithough
      the
      Panthers
      came
      out
      on
      the
      losing
      end
      of
     
     
      1e
      score
      they
      showed
      a
      lot
      of

      anthers
      continue
      to
      improve

      they
      may
     
     
      ery
      well
      end
      up
      surprising
      a

      lopefully
      just
      because
      they
      may
      not
      win
      as
      many
     
     
      ames

      The
      women
      Basket
      Panthers
      opened
      their
      regular
     
     
      season
      on
      a
      different
      note
      as
      they
      took
      part
      in
      one
      of
     
     
      two
      regular
      season
      tournaments.
      One
      was
      held
      in
     
     
      Dalhousie
      and
      the
      other
      in
      UNB.
      The
      Panthers
     
     
      opened
      up
      against
      the
      Saint
      Mary’s
      Huskies,
      a
      team
     
     
      they
      defeated
      the
      week
      before
      in
      Dalhousie
      by
      10
     
     
      points.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Friday
      was
      to
      bea
      different
      story
      however
      as
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      could
      never
      get
      their
      offense
      untracked
      and
     
     
      found
      themselves
      ina
      defensive
      struggle.
      The
      Pan-
     
     
      thers
      a
      team
      that
      usually
      shoots
      the
      ball
      very
      well
     
     
      couldn’t
      buy
      one
      on
      Friday
      an
      it
      ended
      up
      costing
     
     
      them.
      The
      panthers
      trailed
      at
      the
      half
      26-16.
     
    

    
     
      The
      Panthers
      played
      better
      in
      the
      second
      half
      but
      still
     
     
      couldn’t
      mount
      any
      consistent
      offense,
      and
      ended
      up
     
     
      losing
      43-35.
     
    

    
     
      They
      met
      the
      lose
      of
      the
      UCCB
      -
      UNB
      game
      and
      it
     
     
      was
      the
      vastly
      improved
      UCCB
      team.
      The
      Capers
     
     
      who
      finished
      last
      in
      the
      league
      last
      year,
      only
      trailed
     
     
      UNB
      by
      two
      at
      the
      half
      in
      their
      first
      game.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      panthers
      are
      still
      a
      much
      better
      team
      than
      the
     
     
      Capers
      and
      they
      showed
      it
      winning
      easily
      62-43.
