17吃瓜

Every week, 17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Carolina Del Santo and Owen Headrick, the 17吃瓜 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for November 12 to 18.

Carolina Del Santo is a third-year science student from Barcelona, Spain and a centre on the 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Basketball team. Del Santo had a stellar weekend in the Panthers鈥� back-to-back wins over Saint Mary鈥檚 University, tallying up 19 points, 26 rebounds, and six blocks. 鈥淐arolina was pivotal in the team鈥檚 two grind-it-out wins versus SMU at home this weekend,鈥� said coach Matt Gamblin. 鈥淟ast year鈥檚 defensive player of the year and rebounding leader has picked up where she left off in the AUS. She was a huge presence inside, blocking shots, but changing many others as well.鈥�

Owen Headrick is a first-year arts student from Garden River, Ontario and a rookie defenceman on the 17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Hockey team. Headrick scored a goal and notched an assist in the Panthers 5鈥�3 win over St. Francis Xavier University. 鈥淥wen has been adjusting well to our league,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淗e has a steady and calming influence to our defensive core, especially for a first-year player. It is nice to see him get rewarded offensively. He has high-end skill, and is a player we will continue to lean on!鈥�

Panthers at Home, November 23鈥�25

Coach MacPherson will get two more chances to lean on Headrick鈥檚 defensive skills as the Panthers play a pair of home games this coming weekend. 17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Hockey hosts Acadia University Friday evening at 7:00 pm in MacLauchlan Arena. The team laces up again at home Saturday at 7:00 pm against Saint Mary鈥檚 University.

17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Hockey also sees home action this weekend, as the Panthers host St. Francis Xavier University on Sunday, November 25 at the Cavendish Farms Wellness Centre in Montague, PEI. All minor hockey players are admitted to the game free! Parents and guardians can get in with a special two-for-one ticket offer.

17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Hockey is the proud host of the 2019 and 2020 U SPORTS Women鈥檚 Hockey Championships!

Go Panthers Go!
