Panthers at Home
The UPEI Women’s Rugby team is looking to pick up its second win of the season this season. The Panthers are currently 1-2, and play at home Saturday, October 1, at 2 pm against Saint Mary’s University.
The Panthers beat the Huskies once already this season with a decisive 54-7 win. Despite the lopsided score, UPEI Women’s Rugby Coach John LaBoyne warns he’s not taking the Huskies for granted.
“Saint Mary's, under new coach Amber Davison, have a new focus and playing style,” said LaBoyne. “Their new press defence puts teams on the back foot in attack. They took us aback in our first game where we were under pressure for much of the first half. Our ability to capitalize on turnovers was the difference in the game last time. Both teams have had time to work on their games, and Saturday's encounter should be a very good.”
The UPEI Women’s Hockey team plays a pair of exhibition games this weekend. The Panthers play Dalhousie University Friday at 7 pm and Saint Thomas University on Sunday at 3 pm.
