17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation announces Subway Athletes of the Week for October 5-11
17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation highlights the hard work and dedication of two student athletes every seven days with the Subway Athletes of the Week. This week, we honour Emily Keen from the women鈥檚 rugby team and Dut Dut from the men鈥檚 basketball team. 17吃瓜 Athletes of the week are also nominated to Atlantic University Sport and Canadian Interuniversity Sport for possible recognition in the region and/or country.
Who: Emily Keen, Women鈥檚 Rugby; and Dut Dut, Men鈥檚 Basketball
What: 17吃瓜 Panther Athletes of the Week
When: Week of October 5-11
Where: 17吃瓜
Why: Keen is a third-year Bachelor of Science student from Marshfield, PE. She continued her strong, dependable play for the Panthers during Saturday鈥檚 42-17 loss to Acadia. The coaching staff asked team captain Keen to push herself further, carry the ball more, and to go into contact. It paid off. Keen scored her first try. Keen is a skilled player who always works hard, leads by example, controls the game offensively, and was the Panthers best tackler on the field.
Dut Dut, a fourth-year Bachelor of Arts student from Ottawa, ON, had a great weekend. During the team鈥檚 2 wins 1 loss record at the John Dore Classic at Concordia, Dut scored 55 points, including 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 steals in the championship game. Dut was selected to the Tournament All-Star Team.
