Lydia Hamill
September 2, 2025
Lydia Hamill is a fourth-year science student from Searletown, PEI. Her presence in the midfield was undeniable this past weekend. Against Université de Moncton Aigles Bleues on August 29, she was everywhere, breaking up plays, keeping possession, and driving the Panthers forward to help secure a valuable point. On August 31 against perennial powerhouse Cape Breton University Capers, Hamill used grit and composure to keep UPEI in the game, battling through pressure and refusing to let the Capers dominate the middle.
"Lydia was relentless this past weekend. She threw herself into every challenge, covering every inch of the pitch like it mattered more than anything else. Kicked, fouled, knocked down—she just got back up, again and again, with the same fire in her eyes," said head coach Jed Davies. "On the ball, she was composed, intelligent, always scanning, always available—the product of months of quiet, determined work behind the scenes. Watching her out there, inspiring those around her through sheer will and quality, it felt like a privilege to be part of her team."
