      Capture
      Back
      to
     
     
      Back
      Championships
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      With
      only
      a
      single
      loss
      on
      a
      remarkable
     
     
      season,
      the
      men's
      soccer
      panthers
      are
     
     
      on
      their
      way
      to
      the
      playoffs
      with
      an
     
     
      impressive
      record
      of
      7-1-4.
      This
      gives
     
     
      the
      boys
      a
      bye
      through
      the
      first
      round
     
     
      of
      the
      playoffs
      and
      secures
      them
      a
     
     
      position
      in
      an
      AUS
      Semi-Final
      birth
     
     
      against
      the
      winner
      of
      Dalhousie
      (2nd
      in
     
     
      east)
      and
      UCCB
      (3rd
      in
      west)
      in
      their
     
     
      Quarter-Final
      game.
      In
      the
      other
      Semi-
     
     
      Final
      match
      up,
      SMU
      will
      be
      awaiting
     
     
      the
      winner
      of
      the
      other
      Quarter-Final
     
     
      game
      between
      UNB
      (2nd
      in
      west)
      and
     
     
      SFX
      (3rd
      in
      east).
     
    

    
     
      If
      the
      two
      powerhouses
      of
     
     
      SMU
      and
      UPEI
      meet
      in
      the
      finals
      it
     
    
   
   
    
     
      will
      be
      a
      difficult
      challenge
      for
      the
     
     
      panthers
      as
      they
      have
      rendered
      their
     
     
      only
      loss
      of
      the
      season
      to
      the
      Huskies
     
     
      1-0.
      The
      Panthers,
      along
      with
      the
     
     
      Huskies,
      have
      each
      allowed
      only
      eight
     
     
      goals
      in
      their
      twelve
      games
      to
      date.
     
     
      Look
      for
      the
      AUS
      final
      to
      be
      a
      nail
      bit-
     
     
      ing,
      defensive
      thriller
      no
      matter
      who
      is
     
     
      fortunate
      enough
      to
      make
      it.
     
    

    
     
      However,
      one
      should
      not
      look
     
     
      past
      their
      semi-final
      match
      against
      the
     
     
      high
      powered
      offence
      of
      DAL
      (W
      1-0),
     
     
      who
      boast
      an
      AUS
      leading
      28
      goals
     
     
      for,
      and
      a
      respectable
      7-3-2
      record.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      -
      UNB
      (W
      3-1,
      T
      1-1)
      on

      other

      either,
      but
      stellar
      offensive
      chance
      for
     
     
      the
      Huskies
      to
      capitalize
      on.
      There
     
    
   
   
    
     
      were
      numerous
      odd
      man
      rushes,
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      shit
      loads
      of
      scrambles
      in
      front
      of
     
     
      Flicks
      crease
      that
      were
      constantly
     
     
      denied
      by
      the
      Ontario
      native.
     
    

    
     
      The
      game
      began
      slowly
      with
     
     
      the
      majority
      of
      the
      plays
      as
      dump-ins
     
     
      and
      chases
      but
      when
      the
      St.
      Mary's
     
     
      captain
      scored
      a
      week
      goal
      at
      13:57
      of
     
     
      the
      first
      period,
      the
      panthers
      new
      they
     
     
      had
      to
      respond.
      Which
      they
      did
      only
      18
     
     
      seconds
      later
      when
      John
      Brioux
      capi-
     
     
      talized
      on
      the
      panthers
      ninth
      shot
      of
      the
     
     
      game,
      the
      equalizer
      was
      assisted
      by
     
     
      Dave
      Dalliday
      and
      Joel
      Ward.
      The
      first
     
     
      period
      ended
      well
      for
      the
      panthers
      as
     
     
      they
      outshot
      the
      Huskies
      10-9.
     
    

    
     
      The
      second
      period
      was
      much
     
     
      of
      the
      same
      as
      St.
      Mary's
      jumped
     
     
      ahead
      again
      early
      in
      the
      period
      with
      a
     
     
      redirected
      shot
      in
      front
      of
      the
      UPEI
      net
     
     
      minder.
      Then,
      like
      the
      first
      period,
      the
     
     
      panthers
      answered
      back
      with
      more
      fire-
     
     
      power
      as
      John
      Kozoriz
      scored
      a
      beauti-
     
     
      ful
      shorthanded
      marker
      and
      Joel
      Ward
     
    
   
   
    
     
      scored
      helping
      the
      panthers
      find
      their
     
     
      first
      lead
      of
      the
      game
      at
      the
      17:40
      mark
     
     
      of
      the
      frame.
     
    

    
     
      The
      third
      period
      was
      filled
     
     
      with
      offensive
      chance
      after
      offensive
     
     
      chance
      for
      both
      sides
      but
      it
      was
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      that
      scored
      two
      key
      goals
      and
     
     
      established
      a
      solid
      four
      man
      wall
      at
     
     
      their
      blue
      line
      to
      give
      them
      the
      victory.
     
     
      Although
      the
      Huskies
      pressed
      late
      in,
     
     
      the
      game
      and
      brought
      it
      within
      one
     
     
      goal
      with
      30
      seconds
      to
      go
      in
      the
     
     
      game,
      the
      poise
      of
      the
      panthers
      rose
      to
     
     
      the
      occasion.

      Recently
      eight
      young
      men
     
     
      from
      UPEI
      (without
      a
      coach)
      tried
      their
     
     
      hand
      in
      a
      varsity
      volleyball
      tournament
     
     
      in

      this
      past
      weekend.
      The

      matched
      up

      Atlantic
