17吃瓜

Every week, 17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and dedication to their respective sports. The 17吃瓜 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for November 1 to 7 are Jenna Mae Ellsworth (women鈥檚 basketball) and Elijah Miller (men鈥檚 basketball).

Ellsworth is a fifth-year education student from Charlottetown, PEI, and a guard on 17吃瓜鈥檚 women鈥檚 basketball team. The reigning U SPORTS MVP proved she still 鈥渉as it鈥� during a weekend sweep of the Dalhousie Tigers. Ellsworth averaged 28.5 points (on 63 per cent shooting), six rebounds, and three assists in the two wins, putting the Panthers atop the standings at 4-0. 鈥淛enna Mae led the charge this weekend,鈥� said Matt Gamblin, head coach of 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Basketball. 鈥淪he has been extremely efficient so far this season and was essential in landing the weekend sweep.鈥�

Miller is a second-year business major from Rexdale, Ontario and a point guard on the 17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Basketball team. He guided the Panthers to a weekend split against the perennial champion Dalhousie Tigers. In the two games, Miller averaged 23.5 points per game (48.4 per cent shooting), 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. 鈥淓lijah is obviously scoring, but he is also facilitating and creating easy baskets for his teammates. He's rebounding and now really focusing on defending,鈥� said Darrell Glenn, head coach of 17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Basketball. 鈥淚n my mind, he's one of the elite players in our league.鈥�

Go Panthers Go!
