What: UPEI Panther Athletes of the Week
When: Week of September 16-22
Why: During the first Atlantic University Field Hockey Tournament, Koughan played with poise and confidence controlling the play from the sweeper position. Her calm confidence with the ball settled the play and created many offensive opportunities for her teammates. Koughan dribbled the ball through many defenders to score her first goal of the season. She played a major role in both defensive and offensive penalty corners. On the offensive side, she was the stick stopper and helped the team score multiple times on offensive penalty corner chances. Koughan is a second-year student from Stratford and is enrolled in the bachelor of business administration program.
