Orianna MacNeil

Orianna MacNeil, a first-year kinesiology student from Mabou, Nova Scotia, is enjoying a strong start to her AUS career and leads all Panther defenders with two goals, and a plus/minus rating of +1. The rookie defender possesses an amazing shot that was on full display this weekend as she scored her second goal of the season against Dalhousie and assisted on the other UPEI goal in the Panthers' 3-2 overtime loss. 

"Ori is really starting to come into her own. She has great puck skills and is starting to learn what is going to work for her at the AUS and U SPORTS level," said head coach Sean Fisher. "What I like most about Ori is her team spirit. She is genuinely so excited to be part of the program. She's excited to be part of the group, and her energy is infectious for both athletes and staff."
