Deborah Aboagye and Kamari Scott named UPEI Panhers Source for Sports Athletes of the Week

Charlottetown, PEI (March 4, 2025)—Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panthers Source for Sports Athletes of the Week for February 24 to March 2, 2025, are Deborah Aboagye (women's basketball) and Kamari Scott (men's basketball).

 

Aboagye is a fifth-year master of business administration student from Montreal, Quebec. She delivered a standout performance during the AUS women's basketball championship in Halifax last weekend, making a significant impact on both ends of the court. Over three games, she averaged 8.0 points, but in the final two matchups, she elevated her game, posting 10.5 points on an efficient 55.6 per cent shooting, along with 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per contest.

 

"Deborah had a great weekend in her final run with the Panthers," said head coach Matt Gamblin. "She hit the game winning basket in the quarter-finals and then followed that with a strong semifinal. Deb also led the squad in scoring in the AUS final and was named a tournament all-star. I'm proud of her effort over the past two years and happy she closed her career on such a strong note."

 

Scott, a fifth-year business student from Malton, Ontario, fulfilled his promise to bring an AUS championship back to UPEI, delivering a standout performance when it mattered most. The veteran guard was sensational throughout the AUS men's basketball championship in Halifax last weekend where he earned tournament MVP status, averaging 20.5 points on 48.3 per cent shooting while pulling down 8.0 rebounds across two games. In the championship showdown against the St. Francis Xavier X-Men on March 2, he led a remarkable comeback, scoring a team-high 24 points. His eight points in the third quarter proved pivotal, igniting UPEI's rally and setting the stage for a dramatic and unforgettable finish.

 

"Kamari was not going to let us lose the game—he scored back-to-back baskets to help us go on a 12-0 run that completely turned the game around," said head coach Darrell Glenn.

 

Go Panthers Go!
