It's all for naught. It's over
These are the words on the
mind of thousands of Erie
Panther fans as the Panthers were
elimated from the playoffs this
year.
But do not say that. Don't
even utter that phrase. The 1994-
95 Erie Panthers gave 110% to
try to win every game this
season.
Look at the front lines: the
McKinnon-Burfoot-Charbonneau
line in it's prime at the middle of
the season was a scoring
machine. They scored more goal
and worked better together than
even the Big Dead Machine.
Burfoot still is among the league
leaders the in scoring and assists.
McKinnon is one of the tops in
The Penn State Behrend

season on a positive note by

Charbonneau's slap shot has
earned him league leads in goals.
Even with Burfoot gone, Jeff
Hoad, Todd Dvorak, and Cam
Brown have played impressively
on their lines.
Take a look at the defense.
With Jason Smith, a hockey
veteran from Erie and the hardest
shot on the team, anchoring,
Sverre Sears, a star player in
college, and many other talents,
the Panthers are dishing out the
hits on the ice.
And the goaltending was good,
too. Francis Ouellette, another
ECHL veteran had more losses
than wins, but had a lot of saves
and a low goals against average.
So when you look at the Erie
Panthers, don't feel sorry for
them. This team was good.

up short,
of playoffs
and Charbonneau were all called
up to other leagues for short
periods of time. Burfoot has
been playing for the Fort Wayne
Comets of the International
Hockey League since the first
week of February. This team
wanted to win. They had the will
to win. And more importantly
they CARED about the game of
hockey enough to come to Erie
in the middle of the winter and
give us something to cheer
about.
So come out to the Erie Civic
Center this Saturday to see the
Panthers battle the play-off bound
Wheeling Thunderbirds.

Reed ATW for
consecutive weeks
For two consecutive weeks,
unior Becky Reed is the
Housing & Food Services
Athlete of the week. Instead of
basketball, its for her exceptional
performance in softball.
The season started in Florida
over spring break. Reed, a
shortstop, had 33 at bats, 12
runs, 16 hits, and 17 runs batted
in.
Reed has played softball at
Behrend for three years. "I've
been playing since I was eligible
for T-ball," she said.
Since the season is just
beginning, it's the perfect time to
make expectations about the
season.
"I have high expectations for
the team. I'd like us to make it
to the NCAA tournament. Our
team is talented and we have the
right components to go all the
way," Reed said.
With her performance in
Florida it indicates a tremendous
season. Megan Musante said,
"she was really consistent the
whole week in Florida, both
offensively and defensively."
"This team is one of the more
talented groups I've played with.
We have a good attitude, we get
along well, we have high
expectations, " said Reed.
She also added, "we're hard
workers, I anticipate a good
season as long as everyone
contributes."
Reed believes that her strengths
lie primarily with herself.
"I feel I'm a good leader. My
coach and my teammates have a
lot of confidence me. They give
me the confidence to do whatever
I need to do," Reed said.
Sue Mazur agreed, "she is one
of my teammates that I feel most
confident in. She's a great
leader."

adversity to have a successfu
season. As for Reed she has 4
work on being a perfectionist.
"Getting down on myself when
I make a mistake is my biggest
adversity. I think I should
always have a perfect game. I
need to work on it because it
brings everyone down including
myself. I'm not going to do that
this season!" Reed said.
Reed gives inspiration to th
team.
Julie Stocker said, "it seem •
