17吃瓜

Every week, 17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and dedication to their respective sports. This week鈥檚 17吃瓜 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for November 21 to 28 are Taylor Gillis (women鈥檚 hockey) and Troy Lajeunesse (men鈥檚 hockey).

Gillis is a third-year Faculty of Business student from Summerside, PEI, and a forward on the 17吃瓜 women鈥檚 hockey team. She had a phenomenal week, scoring three goals and an assist in two wins. Gillis stepped up in a big way in Sunday鈥檚 4鈥�2 win over the top-ranked Saint Mary鈥檚 Huskies, scoring two goals and an assist. 鈥淭aylor has had a strong first half but really played a key role in both wins last week,鈥� said head coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淭aylor鈥檚 compete level was at 100 per cent. She was hard to play against and finished when we needed a big goal. It was so great watching her this past week.鈥�

Lajeunesse is a third-year Faculty of Arts student from Dokis, Ontario, and a forward with the 17吃瓜 men鈥檚 hockey team. He had a great weekend and consistently found himself on the scoresheet. In two games, he recorded two goals and two assists. Most of that production came in Saturday night鈥檚 win over the Dalhousie Tigers, as he finished with two goals and an assist, including the game-winning goal. 鈥淭roy has been one of our most consistent forwards all season long,鈥� said head coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淚t was great to see him get rewarded on Saturday night against Dalhousie. It was a big win, and Troy played a significant role.鈥�
