UPEI announces the Panther Subway Athletes of the Week, February 13-20

Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Kiera Rigby (Women’s Basketball) and Ryan MacKinnon (Men’s Hockey), the UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the week for February 13-20!

Kiera Rigby is a fourth-year Science student from Charlottetown and a member of the UPEI Women’s Basketball team. Rigby scored 20 points her final home game as a Panther, leading her team to a win 71-63 against Cape Breton University. She shot 40 per cent from the field and the three-point line. She also defended extremely well, said coach Greg Gould, holding her opponent to just six points.

Ryan MacKinnon is a second-year Business student from Summerside and a member of the Men’s Hockey team and plays defence for UPEI Men’s Hockey. MacKinnon scored a goal and notched three assists in the Panthers quarter-final playoff series against Saint Mary’s University. “Ryan had a great series for us,” said coach Forbes MacPherson. “He was a leader on the ice and in the locker room. We felt we were starting to play our best hockey of the season, and Ryan's play reflects that as well.”
