UPDATE: Murphy wins Sport PEI Intercollegiate Male Athlete of the Year

Sport PEI named UPEI Men's Soccer player Jared Murphy as "Intercollegiate Male Athlete of the Year" at its amateur sport awards presentation last night at the Rodd Charlottetown Hotel. The provincial sport federation also presented the UPEI Men's Soccer team with the "SCORE! Team of the Year" award, as was announced previously.

The UPEI Men's Soccer team earned the nod based on its CIS bronze medal performance at last November's CIS Men's Soccer National Championship. The team made history as the first Panther soccer squad to win a national CIS competition medal, defeating the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) Citadins 2-1.

Murphy, a fifth-year business student from Charlottetown, PEI was one of two Panthers named to the tournament's all-star team in addition to be being named UPEI Athlete of the Week three times during the 2014 regular season.

Congratulations to Jared and the UPEI Men's Soccer team! Go Panthers Go!
