UPEI announces the Panther Subway Athletes of the Week, September 5-11
Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Rebecca Chapman (women’s rugby) and Brett Strba (men’s soccer), the UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the week for September 5-11!
Rebecca Chapman plays the number 8 position for the Panther women’s rugby team. The fifth-year honours kinesiology student from Souris played an outstanding game in the season opener to the number one-ranked Acadia. The Panthers ultimately lost the game 29-17, but coach John Laboyne said, “’Beccs’ was effective at every aspect of the game and led the team from the front, both in attack and defence.”
Brett Strba is the keeper for the Panther men’s soccer team. He is a second-year BBA student from Windsor Junction, Nova Scotia. “Brett played two very strong games for us on the weekend,” said coach Lewis Page. The Panther men dropped two games over the weekend, losing to St. FX and CBU.
