UPEI Soccer keeper, Chanelle Roy, named CIS female athlete of the week

Soccer goalkeeper Chanelle Roy of the UPEI Panthers is the BlackBerry Canadian Interuniversity Sport female athlete of the week for the period ending Sept. 26, 2010.

Roy is a third-year science student from Bathurst, N.B., and recorded back-to-back shutouts over the weekend as the Panthers (3-0-3) remained undefeated in conference play with a 1-0 win over UNB (1-2-1) and a scoreless draw with the AUS-leading and nationally ninth-ranked Dalhousie Tigers (4-0-2). The junior keeper, who leads the AUS with five shutouts and only one goal allowed in six outings (0.17 GAA), hopes to resume her stellar play when UPEI visits Mount Allison (0-2-3) on Saturday and Acadia (2-1-2) on Sunday.
