Lauren Rainford

Lauren Rainford, a fifth-year arts student from Toronto, Ontario, etched her name in UPEI history this weekend, surpassing the legendary Jenna Mae Ellsworth's all-time scoring record of 1,380 points. The milestone came on a free throw with 3:52 left in the third quarter of the victory over the Memorial University Sea-Hawks on February 15. The Panthers dominated the weekend series, winning both games, as Rainford led the charge, averaging 20.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 3.0 steals.

 

"Lauren had a memorable weekend, breaking the regular season scoring record," said head coach Matt Gamblin. "It's one of those full-circle moments for me as well, being able to coach both Lauren and Jenna Mae Ellsworth when they broke the school record. This is such a great accomplishment!"
