      Recently
      the
      men’s
      soccer
      team
     
     
      raped
      the
      University
      of
      Moncton
      4-0
      ina
     
     
      game
      that
      rewrote
      the
      book
      on
      dominance.
     
     
      The
      game
      was
      played
      on
      a
      windy,
      rainy,
     
     
      sloppy
      day
      which
      only
      seamed
      to
      help
      the
     
     
      panthers
      in
      their
      trouncing.
      Pat
      O’Connell
     
     
      picked
      up
      his
      third
      goal
      of
      the
      season
      with
     
     
      a
      brilliant
      cross
      off
      a
      free
      kick
      from
      the
     
     
      right
      foot
      of
      Jon
      Vos.
      Unfortunately
      for
     
     
      Udem,
      the
      bleeding
      didn’t
      stop
      there.
      Just
     
     
      six
      minutes
      later
      Martein
      Hakkers
      also
     
     
      took
      a
      Vos
      free
      kick
      to
      the
      back
      of
      the
     
     
      Moncton
      goal.
      The
      panthers
      took
      a
      strong
     
     
      lead
      into
      the
      half
      but
      came
      out
      in
      the
      sec-
     
     
      ond
      half
      as
      though
      they
      were
      desperate
      to
     
     
      score.
      An
      onslaught
      of
      fifteen
      shots
     
     
      proved
      too
      much
      for
      the
      Moncton
      Keeper
     
     
      as
      he
      allowed
      Ryan
      Anstey
      to
      pocket
      his
     
     
      fifth
      and
      sixth
      goals
      of
      the
      season,
      both
      of
     
     
      which
      were
      set
      up
      by
      the
      intense
      offensive
     
     
      play
      of
      Adam
      Foster.
      Throughout
      the
     
     
      game
      Moncton
      showed
      their
      frustration
     
     
      with
      the
      unstoppable
      offence
      of
      the
      pan-
     
     
      thers
      and
      were
      assessed
      three
      yellow
      cards
     
     
      to
      UPEI’s
      one.
      Can
      you
      really
      blame
      the
     
     
      poor
      bastards,
      they
      were
      out
      shot
      15-1,
      out
     
     
      chanced
      18-3,
      and
      the
      corner
      kicks
      were
     
     
      15-0
      in
      favour
      of
      our
      panthers.
      Luckily
      for
     
     
      the
      Moncton
      players
      they
      got
      a
      week
      to
     
     
      rest
      before
      they
      get
      their
      asses
      kicked
     
     
      again
      this
      Friday
      as
      the
      men
      travel
      to
     
     
      Moncton
      and
      look
      to
      take
      the
      lead
      in
      the
     
     
      AUS
      Conference
      from
      St.
      Mary’s
      who
     
     
      have
      played
      one
      game
      than
      the
      panthers
     
     
      and
      sit
      three
      points
      up.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      Fredericton,
      the
      boys
      pulled
     
     
      out
      a
      nail
      biter
      and
      were
      lucky
      to
      escape
     
     
      with
      a
      1-1
      draw.
      In
      the
      first
      half
      UNB
     
     
      opened
      the
      scoring
      as
      the
      AUS
      scoring
     
     
      leader
      Jonathan
      Crossland
      snuck
      one
      past
     
     
      UPEI
      keeper,
      MacCormack.
      The
      panthers
     
     
      battled
      hard
      all
      game
      but
      weren’t
      reward-
     
     
      ed
      until
      the
      86th
      minute
      as
      four
      strikers
     
     
      were
      too
      much
      for
      the
      UNB
      defence
      and
     
     
      Ryan
      Anstey
      was
      able
      to
      grab
      another
     
     
      huge
      goal
      as
      he
      punched
      in
      a
      beautiful
     
     
      header
      from
      Mark
      Beer.

      performance
      of
      the

      she

      she
      recorded
      her
      first
      three
      goals
      in
      as
     
     
      many
      years
      against
      UNB.
      The
      hat
      trick
     
     
      gave
      UPEI
      the
      win
      3-2.
      All
      of
      the
      goals
     
     
      came
      relatively
      easily
      to
      the
      third
      year
     
     
      midfielder.
      Her
      first
      goal
      came
      in
      the
      38th
     
     
      minute
      as
      she
      knocked
      in
      a
      deflection
      off
     
     
      the
      post
      from
      a
      headed
      corner
      kick
      and
     
     
      tied
      the
      game
      for
      the
      panthers.
      Then
      only
     
     
      three
      minutes
      later
      it
      was
      another
      deflect-
     
     
      ed
      shot
      by
      Janelle
      Blanchard
      that
      McInnis
     
     
      picked
      up
      about
      15
      yards
      out
      and
      buried
      it
     
     
      into
      an
      open
      net.
      In
      the
      second
      half
      it
      was
     
     
      more
      of
      the
      same
      when
      in
      the
      69th
      minute
     
    
   
   
    
     
      -
      when
      Krista
      took
      a
      gorgeous
      cross
      from
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Katie
      McInnis
      (no
      relation).
      UNB
      made
      it
     
     
      close
      late
      but
      the
      defence
      of
      the
      panthers
     
     
      persisted
      and
      did
      not
      give
      the
      Reds
     
     
      enough
      room
      to
      come
      back.
      UPEI
      out
      shot
     
     
      their
      opponents
      11-7
      but
      were
      out
      chanced
     
     
      by
      the
      Reds
      8-5.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      lady
      panthers
      found
      out
      last
      weekend
     
     
      why
      soccer
      is
      a
      ninety
      minute
      game
      as
     
     
      they
      took
      88
      of
      those
      minutes
      to
      finally
     
     
      get
      the
      equalizer
      against
      Moncton
      on
      a
     
     
      rainy,
      windy,
      crappy
      day.
      The
      panthers
     
     
      looked
      as
      though
      they
      captured
      and
     
     
      domesticated
      by
      the
      Moncton
      girls
      but
     
     
      showed
      everyone
      in
      the
      league
      that
      they
     
     
      too
      can
      battle
      back
      in
      the
      final
      minutes
     
     
      and
      that
      they
      will
      never
      roll
      over
      for
      any-
     
     
      one.
     
    

    
     
      As
      time
      ticked
      away
      Allison
     
     
      Frizzel
      stepped
      to
      the
      fore
      front
      as
      she
      laid
     
     
      a
      nice
      cross
      to
      Katie
      McInnis
      who
      made
     
     
      no
      mistake
      in
      beating
      the
      rather
      masculine
     
     
      Moncton
      keeper.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The

      a

      against

      defence,
      UPEI,
      as
     
     
      the
      panthers
      tried
      their
      luck
      against
      the
     
     
      defending

      Champions

      goals
      in
      their
      four
      games
      vs.
      UNB.
      While
     
     
      our
      panther
      girls,
      namely
      Ambyr
      Gallant,
     
     
      failed
      to
      render
      a
      single
      goal
      against
      in
     
     
      their
      four
      games
      against
      the
      Reds.
      -
     
    

    
     
      As
      the
      two
      teams
      clashed
      last
     
     
      Friday
      for
      division
      supremacy,
      it
      was
     
     
      UPEI
      who
      took
      the
      game
      convincingly
      4-
     
     
      1.
      Gallant,
      as
      usual,
      played
      a
      fine
      game
      in
     
     
      goal
      for
      the
      panthers
      and
      picked
      up
      player
     
     
      of
      the
      game
      honours.
     
    

    
     
      Again
      on
      Saturday
      it
      was
      much
     
     
      of
      the
      same
      defensive
      mind
      set
      that
     
     
      worked
      for
      UPEI
      as
      the
      girls
      allowed
      only
     
     
      one
      goal
      again.
      However,
      SMU
      saw
      some-
     
     
      thing
      in
      the
      Friday
      game
      and
      adjusted
      to
      it
     
     
      as
      they
      shut
      down
      the
      panther
      offence
      '
     
     
      completely
      taking
      the
      game
      1-0.
     
    

    
     
      As
      it
      stands
      now,
      the
      girls
      are
      in
     
     
      a
      tie
      with
      SMU
      for
      top
      seed
      in
      the
      divi-
     
     
      sion
      and
      have
      two
      games
      remaining
     
     
      against
      their
      new
      Atlantic
      Conference
     
     
      rivals.
      Due
      to
      goals
      for
      and
      against
      it
     
     
      looks
      as
      though
      the
      girls
      need
      to
      grab
      both
     
     
      games
      from
      Huskies
      or
      out
      score
      them

      The
      panther
      rugby
      women
      made
     
     
      it
      four
      wins
      in
      a
      row
      to
      start
      off
      the
      season
     
     
      last
      week
      as
      they
      defeated
      NSAC
      in
      their
     
     
      biggest
      thumping
      of
      the
      reason
      102-0.
     
     
      Now,
      I
      am
      not
      a
      mathematician
      but
      I
      do
     
     
      know
      that
      for
      a
      rugby
      team
      to
      score
      102
     
     
      points,
      it
      is
      unheard
      of.
      The
      girls
      rolled
     
     
      over
      their
      opponents
      by
      running
      for
     
     
      uncontested
      try
      after
      uncontested
      try.
      “All
     
     
      we
      had
      to
      do
      was
      push
      them
      and
      they
     
     
      would
      fall
      right
      over,”
      said
      team
      bruiser,
     
     
      Shelly
      MacNeill.
      Try
      scorers
      for

      were
      Michelle
      Young
      and
      Krista
     
     
      Myers
      with
      three
      each,
      Lauren
      Sinclair

      The
      girls
      are
      looking
      to
      send
      a
     
     
      message
      to
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      league
      this
      year,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      and
      I
      think
      by
      the
      looks
      of
      the
      scoreboard,
     
     
      NSAC
      got
      the
      picture
      loud
      and
      clear.
     
     
      Normally
      the
      girls
      would
      have
      more
      class
     
     
      than
      to
      run
      up
      the
      score
      on
      their
      weak
     
     
      opposition
      like
      this
      but
      Dalhousie,
      who
     
     
      the
      panthers
      have
      yet
      to
      demolish,
      have
     
     
      also
      been
      running
      up
      their
      games
      and
      the
     
     
      girls
      don’t
      want
      to
      leave
      their
      league
     
     
      championship
      down
      to
      plus/minus.
     
    

    
     
      The
      girls
      will
      tangle
      with
      the
      Tigers
      this
     
     
      weekend
      in
      Halifax
      as
      they
      face
      their
     
     
      biggest
      competition
      of
      the
      year
      to
      date.
     
     
      Let’s
      hope
      the
      panthers
      finish
      off
      the
      sea-
     
     
      son
      strong
      by
      putting
      on
      a
      rugby
      clinic
      for
     
     
      the
      Tigers
      on
      their
      home
      turf.

      The
      UPEI
      women’s
      rugby
      team
     
     
      could
      be
      considered
      the
      most
      dominant
     
     
      team
      this
      University
      has
      ever
      seen.
      Rugby
     
     
      isn’t
      a
      sport
      like
      hockey
      where
      shutouts
     
     
      come
      every
      now
      and
      then,
      it
      is
      a
      rare
      feat
     
     
      when
      a
      team
      is
      able
      to
      shut
      down
      their
     
     
      opposition
      and
      direct
      the
      play
      of
      the
      game
     
     
      as
      well
      as
      our
      panthers
      have
      done
      so
      far
     
     
      this
      season.
      In
      four
      games
      this
      year
      the
     
     
      female
      panthers
      have
      accumulated
      an
     
     
      astonishing
      251
      points
      for
      and
      allowed
      0
     
     
      points
      against!
      Among
      many,
      the
      girls
     
     
      have
      been
      led
      this
      year
      by
      the
      explosive
     
     
      play
      of
      Michelle
      Young,
      Krista
      Myers,
     
     
      and
      Laura
      Sinclair.
      All
      season
      long
      the
     
     
      girls
      have
      enjoyed
      brisk
      jogs
      into
      the
     
     
      opposing
      teams’
      goal
      and
      seem
      to
      have
      no
     
     
      trouble
      running
      through
      whatever
      opposi-
     
     
      tion
      they
      face.
      The
      defence
      of
      the
      panthers
     
     
      is
      another
      remarkable
      thing
      to
      observe,
      the
     
     
      girls
      have
      a
      sixth
      sense
      of
      where
      the
      other
     
     
      team
      plans
      to
      run
      and
      they
      know
      exactly
     
     
      how
      capitalize
      on
      opportunities
      missed.
     
     
      Neither
      their
      athletic
      ability
      nor
      intensity
     
     
      on
      the
      field
      can
      be
      matched
      by
      any
      team
     
     
      in
      the
      league
      this
      year.
      They
      are
      in
      a
      class
     
     
      far
      above
      the

      they
      are
      playing
      in
     
     
      this

      our
     
     
      school
      and
      our
      Island
      at
      the
      CIAU’s
      in
     
     
      years
      to
      come.
     
    

    
     
      The
      panthers
      rugby
      team
      has
     
     
      extended
      a
      challenge
      to
      the
      five
      time

      for
      St.

      the
      challenge
      has
     
     
      been
      accepted
      by
      the

      This
     
     
      Tuesday
      at
      4:00
      the
      panthers
      will
      be
      able
     
     
      to
      see
      how
      they
      stack
      up
      against
      one
      of
     
     
      the
