Sarah Forsythe and Elijah Miller named UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the Week

Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for February 13–20 are Sarah Forsythe (women’s hockey) and Elijah Miller (men’s basketball).

Forsythe, a science student from Riverview, New Brunswick, was phenomenal in the quarter-final series against the Dalhousie University Tigers. The sophomore netminder allowed four goals in Game 2 but recorded shutouts in Game 1 and Game 3.

“Sarah had a great week against Dalhousie,” said head coach Sean Fisher. “She was really sharp when she needed to be, and her confidence in her game has been growing throughout the playoffs. What’s more, the team is playing confidently in front of her.”

Miller had another MVP-calibre weekend. The third-year point guard from Rexdale, Ontario, averaged 24.0 points, 9.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.0 steals in two wins against the Memorial University Sea-Hawks. Miller also broke the UPEI record for most assists in a season with 120. Head coach Darrell Glenn previously held the record with 118 assists in the 1992—93 season.

“Elijah had another incredible weekend, and we will be counting on him moving into the post-season to continue his excellent play,” said Glenn.

Go Panthers Go!
