      Rugby
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      women's
      rugby
      team
      is
     
     
      another
      example
      of
      a
      team
      happy
      with
     
     
      their
      play,
      but
      not
      their
      the
      results
      of
     
     
      their
      games.
      With
      a
      tie
      at
      the
      begin-
     
     
      ning
      of
      the
      season
      to
      Dalhousie,
      and
      a
     
     
      disappointing
      loss
      to
      Acadia
      last
      week-
     
     
      end,
      they
      have
      found
      themselves
      in
      a
     
     
      tough
      situation.
      The
      season
      has
      given
     
     
      some
      great
      individual
      results
      so
      far,
      as
     
     
      Jaclyn
      Coady
      and
      Jessica
      MacDonald
     
     
      are
      the
      two
      top
      scorers
      in
      all
      of
      the
     
     
      AUS.
      The
      team
      will
      be
      looking
      for
     
     
      these
      two
      players
      to
      lead
      the
      way
      has
     
     
      they
      face
      their
      biggest
      challenge
      yet,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      as
      they
      finish
      the
      regular
      season
      play-
     
     
      ing
      against
      St.
      FX
      and
      St.
      Mary's
      this
     
     
      weekend
      (these
      teams
      are
      numbered
      1
     
     
      and
      2
      in
      the
      AUS).
      Not
      only
      this,
      but
     
     
      UPEI
      must
      win
      at
      least
      one
      of
      these
     
     
      games
      or
      the
      season
      will
      be
      over.
      "This
     
     
      is
      definitely
      the
      biggest
      challenge
      we
     
     
      have
      faced
      this
      year,"
      said
      fullback
     
     
      Melissa
      Perry,
      "and
      probably
      right
      now
     
     
      our
      biggest
      goal."
      Despite
      having
      their
     
     
      backs
      against
      the
      wall,
      the
      team
      feels
     
     
      confident
      that
      they
      can
      beat
      both
      St.
     
     
      FX
      and
      St.
      Mary's,
      and
      that
      they'll
      still
     
     
      be
      playing
      rugby
      beyond
      this
      weekend.

      Despite
      the
      team's
      disappoint-
     
     
      ment
      in
      the
      result
      of
      their
      games,
      the
     
     
      players
      are
      still
      confident
      and
      opti-
     
     
      mistic
      about
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      season.
     
     
      "We
      are
      the
      best
      team
      in
      the
      league
      on
     
     
      paper,”
      says
      team
      goalie,
      Ambyr
     
     
      Gallant,
      "we
      just
      have
      to
      prove
      it
      on
     
     
      the
      scoreboard."
      Defence
      does
      not
     
     
      seem
      to
      be
      a
      problem
      for
      this
      team,
      as
     
     
      both
      Maureen
      O'Connor's
      and
      Joy
     
     
      Elliot's
      play
      has
      impressed
      their
      fellow
     
     
      teammates.
      "We
      have
      to
      score...
     
     
      bottom
      line,"
      says
      team
      leader
      Tracey
     
     
      Gairns.
      And
      the
      team
      has
      been
      practis-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      problem,
      but
      they
      know
      that
      "[they]
     
     
      must
      work
      on
      staying
      focussed
      for
      70
     
     
      minutes,"
      says
      Maureen
      O'Connor,
     
     
      "and
      [have]
      no
      lapses."
      UPEI
      and
     
     
      UNB
      will
      be
      left
      to
      battle
      for
      second,
     
     
      as
      Saint
      Mary's
      has
      all
      but
      clinched
     
     
      first,
      which
      means
      that
      whoever
      wins
     
     
      in
      the
      semifinals
      between
      UPEI
      and
     
     
      UNB
      will
      get
      to
      go
      to
      the
      CIS,
      because
     
     
      Saint
      Mary's
      is
      the
      host
      and
      gets
      in
     
     
      automatically.
      However,
      the
      field
     
     
      hockey
      team
      does
      not
      want
      to
      simply
     
     
      make
      it
      to
      the
      CIS
      playoffs,
      but
      they
     
     
      want
      to
      get
      there
      in

      tying

      con-
     
     
      tinuous

      an
      impressive
     
     
      sight
      as
      she
      encouraged,
      and
      lead

      lowed
