McCutcheon and Rob Moffat are the defensemen from the Panthers who will be playing in the contest, while forwards Greg Gravel, Randy Muttart, Gordie Roche, Albert Roche and Ron Carragher will be the Panther forwards in the All-star showcase. ‘
Tony Haloduck, who has the best goals against average among goaltenders in the AUAA with a 2.66'rating, will be playing goal along with St. Thomas goaltender Terry Wickham, who sports a 4.92 AVG.
Mulligan says that his team is the best on paper but says
anything can happen when 42 of the best players in the Atlantic University loop com- bine for one game.
Acadia University has placed six players on the East All-Star team, to be called the Schooners (by the sponsors Labatts/Oland’s). As well, , St. F.X. has five of their players in the line-up in- cluding Dave Purcell who is in third place in the scoring race behind league leading Greg Gravel and second place Randy Muttart of UPEI.
The N.B./P.E.I. team will be called the Exports and is certainly the favorite. Don

By Ross Hartinger
The University of Prince Edward Island Hockey Panthers continued their domination in Atlantic Uni- versities Athletic Association last weekend, winning two games in Fredericton, New Brunswick and extending their regular season unbeaten streak to eleven games.
Friday night the Panthers defeated the St. Thomas Tommies 9-2, the third time the Panthers have beat the Tommies this year.
Greg Gravel, who leads all scorers in the AUAA with 20 goals this season, scored three goals for UPEI.
St. Thomas played one of their best games of the season and were leading the game after the first period 2-1.
Saturday afternoon, Ron Carragher scored three goals and one assist to pace UPEI to a hard-fought 8-5 victory over defending AUAA champs, University of New Brunswick Red Raiders.
Randy Muttart, Greg Gravel, Darwin Mchtcheon, Gordie Roche and Todd Sutcliffe each scored one goal
. for UPEI, which led 3-2 after
the first period and 6—4 after
the second period.
McCutcheon, Gordie and Albert Roche, Muttart, Ronnie Carragher, and Jeff Steffen are all in the top ten of scoring.
UPEI has outscored the opposition 96-30 and it ap- pears they are heading for a conference title.
UPEl are highly offensive as the number of goals scored
indicate, and have a powerful defensive squad which in- cludes goal tenders Dave Reid and Tony Haliduck (who have been alternating games since the start of the season).
The Panthers play this weekend against St. F.X., Friday night at 7:00 and Saturday at 7:00 p.m. at the Forum against the Saint Mary’s Huskies.
Volleyball
by Tony Sauer
The U.P.E.l. lady volley- ball Panthers lost their third and fourth matches of the season last weekend against Mt. A.
Even though the scores were 3'] and 3-0, coach Donna Sears thinks they still should have won both matches. “We had some commanding leads, but we lack the concentration and experience to finish «off the matches,” said Sears.
“We have to overcome our inexperience. UPEI has not traditionally done well in volleyball and we are suf-
fering from a carry-over alli- tudc.
“Seven of the twelve members are rookies and coach Sears thinks that inex- perience in the mental aspect of the game might be hurting them. Yet rookie Anita Lagundziga had an K out- standing weekend in her first real start with the team.
This probably indicates that the team has potential but needs only time to work out its inexperience troubles.
The Panthers play their next two games at home against Acadia, eight o’clock on Saturdan and one o’clock on Sunday.
