Who: Sydney Stavert, Field Hockey; and Cole MacMillan, Men’s Soccer
What: UPEI Panther Athletes of the Week
When: Week of October 19–25
Where: University of Prince Edward Island
Why: Stavert, a third-year Bachelor of Science student from Charlottetown, played the best field hockey of her life during this past weekend’s AUFH Championship Tournament. Stavert controlled the games with intensity and passion, set the pace all weekend, and led the Panthers to almost perfect field hockey, even scoring a shootout goal. The entire Panther team enjoyed a strong weekend; their results shown through a 1-1 tie with SMU, a 4-0 win over UNB, and another 4-0 win over Acadia. They lost an exciting Championship game, 2-1, in overtime against Dalhousie.
MacMillan, a fifth-year Bachelor of Arts student from Stanhope, PEI, played two outstanding games over the weekend. In the Panthers 2-0 win at Mount Allison on Friday, MacMillan set up a goal, and then during Sunday’s 1-1 tie with Acadia kept his team in the game.
