Black Friday and Saturday
By Michael Zinck
After Friday’s 10-0 beating of the UPEI women’s field hockey team by UNB, things for UPEI could only get better.
And they did -— sort of.
During a hard fought battle in which UPEI palyed a strong controlled first half, we went down to defeat 4-0 on a cold and windy Saturday at McAdam field.
UNB’s first goal at 12:01, by Katheryn MacDougall, was an exception to the Panther’s strong play throughout the first half. Our strong performance was lead by Cindy Doyle, Libby Baldwin and Mary Chamber— lain who kept, with a strong offensive, the play in UNB’s end till the 18 minute mark of the first half.

While the Panthers were in front of UNB’s net they failed on several opportuni- ties to penetrate UNB’s solid defense line.
Finally, at the.25 minute mark, UNB forced the play back into the Panthers zone.
It was there that excellent goatending work by Tracey
'MacEachern prevented two
possible goals and a repeat of Black Friday.
After UPEl’s outstanding performance in the first half, the second hald was a clear disappointment to all.
On a penalt" shot by UNB’s Carla Reeves at 4 minutes into the second half, UNB took control of the play. Carla Reeves connected for her second goal of the game 2 minutes later.
The Panthers’ already —
weakened defensive game allowed UNB on numerous occasions to pass across the front of the Panther net. Katheryn MacDougall struck for UNB’s last goal with 20 minutes to play.
For the UPEI women’s field hockey team, it was another game of missed chances, and a defense which collapsed under the oppo- nents’ powerful offensive play.
On a more humourous note, all the UNB rookies had their'faces painted a nice shade of red by their team- mates as an initiation rite. At the end of the game the rookies treated the spectators to a great rendition of “Old MacDonald had a Farm”.
And you thought frosh week was over.

UPEl’s Male Athlete of the Week is Trent Hayes, goalkeeper for the UPEI Soccer Panthers.
Hayes put in what observers say was an outstanding performance Sunday in Fredericton, stopping UNB on several occasions.
“We had the majority of the shots but we were just unlucky,” said Trent. “But we never really did settle into our regular system of play.”
“It’s a good feeling to have new players come off the bench and play strong games,” said Hayes, referring to Sunday’s injury-plagued game in UNB.
All ‘in all, Hayes thought the team put in a strong effort which helped Trent cash’in on his third shutout of the season.

UPEI Soccer Booster Club!!
The university soccer team has given us many great moments this last year, and many hundreds of fans turned out for the games. .
This year, the team looks as good as if not better than last year’s edition, and has the potential to goall the way.
To make the players and coaches feel the support of the fans is still there, I am con- sidering the formation of a Soccer Booster Club. ~ '
Anyone willing to assist in this exciting venture is asked tocontact me, Bert Ter- steeg, at Ext. 321 Music Department, or Russ Stewart at Ext. 118 in the campus bookstore.
Time is of the essence, because we will be

The University of Prince Edward Island Panthers, who are ranked second in the nation by the ClAU, met the University of New Brunswick Red Shirts and played to two scoreless ties in Atlantic University Athletic Associa- tion soccer action in Freder- icton last weekend.
The Panthers have thirteen points on the season and are in top spot in the AUAA west division — two points ahead of UNB. The Panthers have not lost a game in regular season play in three seasons.
The games, described as rough and chippy, resulted in a number of injuries to both teams but the Panthers were hurt the most.
Panther back Alan An- drews was the most serious injury; he is out of action for at least two weeks with torn ligaments in his ankle.
Andrews says there is nothing that could keep him away from the AUAA play-
offs slated for St. F.X. October 27 and 28. Other players in 'the
Panther line-up are feeling some aches and pains as a result of the weekend games;
Glen Smiley, Richard Pierre- Gilles, Alan Spinks, and Scott Neil.
All are expected to play through, (as of deadline Tuesday) as well as Steve Polenz, who was out for a couple of weeks with a serious injury to his lower back.
The Panthers played Mount Allison Wednesday and play Memorial Univer- sity of Newfoundland twice this weekend. Saturday at
1:00 pm. and Sunday at 2:00 pm. — Support Panther Sports —
