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 September 30–October 5 are Emma MacLean (women’s rugby) and Ben McFarlane (men’s hockey).
The UPEI Panthers bounced back in dramatic fashion Saturday night, outlasting the Dalhousie Tigers 2-1 in a shootout to capture their first win of the season and put Friday’s home opener behind them.
The UPEI Panthers clinched their spot in the Atlantic University Sport playoffs in emphatic fashion Saturday afternoon, routing the Saint Mary’s Huskies 72-0 at home in one of their most complete performances of the season.
It wasn’t the home opener the UPEI Panthers were hoping for. Instead of celebrating a new season in front of their fans, they ran into a red-hot St. FX squad firing on all cylinders, as the X-Men cruised to a 6-2 win Friday night at MacLauchlan Arena.
In 2023-24, the Panthers showed what was possible. Last year reminded them how difficult the climb can be. But with a maturing core and new leadership, this season is about proving they’re tougher, wiser, and ready to turn setbacks into success.
