Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panther Source for Sports Athletes of the Week for September 23–29 are Lauren Misener (women’s rugby) and Jahmal Boursiquot (men’s soccer).
The UPEI Panthers are treating every game like a final, and on Friday night, that urgency paid off. With their playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the Panthers earned a crucial 4-1 victory over the Saint Mary’s Huskies.
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.
