      In
      hoops
      action,
      the
      Women’s
     
     
      Panthers
      dropped
      a
      59-49
      decision
      to
     
     
      Dalhousie
      on
      Saturday,
      putting
      an
      end
     
     
      to
      their
      two
      game
      winning
      streak.
      The
     
     
      ladies
      came
      out
      firing
      in
      the
      first
      half
      and
     
     
      it
      was
      looking
      to
      be
      pretty
      even
      heading
     
     
      into
      the
      break,
      until
      Dal’s
      Ryan
     
     
      MacKay
      (who
      finished
      with
      a
      team
     
     
      leading
      17
      points)
      dropped
      the
      long
      ball
     
     
      to
      give
      Dal
      a
      32-29
      lead.
      After
      the
      half,
     
     
      the
      Tigers
      exploded
      on
      a
      13-2
      run,
      and
     
     
      things
      looked
      grim
      for
      the
      Panthers.
     
    

    
     
      Not
      to
      be
      outdone,
      though,
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      retaliated
      with
      a
      11-0
      run
      of
     
     
      their
      own,
      led
      by
      Lindsay
      Coade,
      who
     
     
      finished
      with
      a
      game
      high
      19
      points
      and
     
     
      9
      rebounds.
      The
      sudden
      offensive
     
     
      outburst
      would
      bring
      the
      Panthers
      to
     
     
      within
      five;
      unfortunately,
      it
      would
      be
     
     
      as
      close
      as
      they
      would
      get,
      as
      the
      Tigers
     
     
      fell
      into
      a
      defensive
      shell
      for
      the
      final
     
     
      two
      minutes,
      securing
      the
      win.
     
    

    
     
      Also
      notable
      for
      their
     
     
      performances
      in
      the
      game
      were
      Melissa
     
     
      Anne
      Campbell,
      with
      8
      points,
      and
     
     
      Katie
      Andrews,
      with
      8
      assists.
      The
      loss
     
     
      brings
      the
      Panthers
      to
      2-3.
     
    

    
     
      -
      On
      the
      men’s
      side,
      rookies
      led
     
     
      the
      way
      as
      Engen
      “Bob
      the
      Engine”
     
     
      Nurumbi
      and
      Nathan
      Johnston
     
     
      combined
      for
      37
      points
      (Nurumbi
     
     
      25pts
      12
      rbs;
      Johnston
      12
      pts).
      Also
     
     
      key
      in
      the
      Panther’s
      win
      was
      veteran
     
     
      Sherone
      Edwards,
      who
      pounded
      in
      22
     
     
      points
      and
      snagged
      10
      boards
      for
      the
     
     
      cause.
      Despite
      their
      impressive
      56%
     
     
      shooting
      from
      the
      field
      in
      the
      first
      half,
     
     
      the
      Panthers
      only
      led
      by
      nine
      at
      the
      half
     
     
      against
      an
      impressive
      Dalhousie
      squad.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      Tigers
      would
      only
      continue
     
     
      to
      impress
      as
      the
      second
      half
      began.
     
     
      Blasting
      off
      on
      offense,
      the
      hungry
      Tigers
     
     
      would
      eventually
      lock
      horns
      with
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      on
      jumper
      by
      Tristan
      James
     
     
      with
      seven
      minutes
      remaining.
      Not
      o
      be
     
     
      outdone,
      the
      Panthers
      called
      on
     
     
      Johnston,
      who
      led
      a
      methodical
      and
     
     
      punishing
      offense
      which
      took
      the
      lead
     
     
      until
      the
      clock
      ran
      out.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Michelle
      Pridham
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      volleyball,
      the
      Women’s
     
     
      Panthers
      lost
      to
      an
      overpowering
      UNB
     
     
      squad
      in
      4
      on
      Friday.
      The
      Panthers
     
     
      came
      out
      strong
      in
      the
      first,
      pounding
     
     
      UNB
      25-18,
      however
      it
      was
      not
      to
      last;
     
     
      the
      second
      game,
      albeit
      close,
      would
     
     
      swing
      the
      momentum
      in
      favor
      of
      the
     
     
      Reds
      with
      a
      score
      of
      24-26.
      UNB
     
     
      continued
      to
      roll
      out
      wins,
      completing
     
     
      the
      next
      two
      games
      by
      scores
      of
      25-
     
     
      20
      and
      25-17.
      Despite
      controlling
      the
     
     
      game
      statistically,
      with
      more
      kills,
      digs,
     
     
      and
      less
      missed
      serves,
      the
      Panther
     
     
      simply
      could
      not
      find
      enough
      to
      eke
      out
     
     
      the
      win.
     
    

    
     
      The
      loss
      drops
      them
      to
      3-9
      so
     
     
      far
      on
      the
      year.

      the
      way
      in
      the
     
     
      losing

      were
      Michelle
      Pridham,

      spectacular
      play
      which
      has
      earned
      them
     
     
      the
      distinction
      of

      Nurumbi,
      an
      outstanding
      rookie
     
     
      from
      the
      Congo,
      has
      been
      making
     
     
      headlines
      for
      the
      men
      ever
      since
      he
     
     
      stepped
      foot
      on
      the
      court.
      His
      play
      has
     
     
      earned
      him
      the
      moniker
      “the
      Engine,”
     
     
      and
      he
      recently
      recorded
      another
     
     
      double-double
      on
      Saturday,
      giving
      him
     
     
      around
      umpteen
      on
      the
      season.
      The
     
     
      Engine
      certainly
      seems
      to
      be
      fine-tuned,
     
     
      and
      he
      is
      expected
      to
      continue
      his
     
     
      incredible
      play
      in
      the
      future,
      helping
      to
     
     
      lead
      the
      Panthers
      squad
      to
      play
      like

      The
      girls
      are
      having
      a
      rough
      time
     
     
      this
      year,
      dropping
      another
      two
      at
      home
     
     
      against
      UNB
      and
      UDM
      this
      weekend.
     
     
      They
      started
      out
      well
      on
      Friday,
     
     
      opening
      up
      the
      game
      winning
      the
      first
     
     
      set
      25-18,
      but
      it
      went
      downhill
      from
     
     
      there.
      In
      a
      close
      second
      set,
      going
      to
     
     
      UNB
      26-24,
      they
      just
      weren’t
      able
      to
     
     
      recuperate,
      and
      lost
      the
      final
      two
      sets.
     
     
      On
      Saturday,
      after
      a
      close
      first
      set
      going
     
     
      to
      Moncton
      28-26,
      UPEI
      looked
     
     
      promising
      as
      they
      managed
      to
      take
      the
     
     
      second,
      25-21.
      But
      they
      couldn’t
      keep
     
     
      the
      drive
      alive,
      falling
      in
      two
      consecutive
     
     
      sets,
      25-20,
      25-17.
      The
      women
      will
     
     
      get
      a
      break
      over
      Christmas
      to
     
     
      reorganize
      and
      recharge,
      looking
      for
     
     
      redemption
      January
      8th-9th,
      as
      they
     
     
      visit
      UNB
      and
      UDM
      once
      again
