The St. Thomas Lady Tommies headed to Alberton, PEI this afternoon in search of a big win versus the UPEI Panthers.  Unfortunately it didn't go as planned, as the Panthers dispatched the Tommies 2 to 1.

UPEI scored a powerplay marker in the first and second period to account for both of their goals.  The Tommies answered late in the third period at 19:51 when Dani Miller connected with the extra skater on the ice for STU.  Final shots were 21 - 17 for PEI.

With the win the Panthers move three points ahead of St. Thomas for third position in the AUS and the Tommies slip to fifth, as the Mount Alison Mounties forced U de M to a shoot out to gain a valuable point, moving them into sole possession of fourth.

The Tommies will face the Saint Mary's Huskies next Sunday at 2 PM.  Of course Randy Corey will have the play by play on Tommies TV.
