The Panthers outshot the Cougars 30-6 and had 14 penalty corners to just six (6) for SlU-E. "Colleen (Fletcher, junior forward of Mascoutah/Mascoutah Community) played her best game of the season," conunented coach Reichel further. "It was a well-run tournament. We are very happy for Deb (King); she needed those two shutouts to her credit. Now we wait to see how the bracketing will be made for Nationals."

EIU will drive by van to Ithica, NY, Tuesday Nov. 17 in order to arrive for the start of the AIAW Division II Nationals which begin Thursday Nov. 19 and conclude Saturday the 21st.

EIU defeated Central ~issouri State (3-1) in last year's first-round action of the AIAW Division II Nationals at Edwardsville, IL. The Panthers, however, were sent into the Consolation bracket after a 2-1 tripping by eventual champion, LaSalle in quarterfinal play. EIU then defeated STU-Edwardsville 1-0 in quarterfinal Consolation action before being tripped 3-2 in double overtime and penalty flicks by the University of North Dakota in consolation semi-finals of the 16-team national event. This year's AIAW Division II National will have eight teams competing for the crown, in the double-elimination tournament. The Panthers' victory over STU-Edwardsville, last Saturday, marked the fifth meeting between the two schools this year. EIU won four and the other game ended in a 1-1 tie because of darkness (refer to season results this release). The 2-0 MAlAW title game marked the largest margin of victory for the Panthers over the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars this year. LaSalle is defending Al.AW Division II National Champion, and the Region 1B victor will make the short trip to Ithica, NY to defend its crown. STU-Edwardsville had defeated Notre Dame 3-2 and Franklin (IN) College 3-2 to get to the l\fA.IAW Championship game last Saturday afternoon. Dayton tripped Franklin 3-2 for third place.
