Why: Zinck, a fourth-year Bachelor of Arts student from Halifax, Nova Scotia, had a dominant game on Friday night in the Panthers 60-40 win over the previously unbeaten Saint Mary's Huskies. Zinck had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 steals. On Saturday night, the 5'8' guard recorded 3 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal during the Panthers 57-49 win over the UNB Reds.

Wilgosh, a third-year Bachelor of Arts student from Winnipeg, Manitoba, scored two goals, including the game winner, in a 3-1 Panther win over the Saint Mary's Huskies on Saturday night. Saturday's win was a character effort led by team captain Wilgosh especially after Friday's penalty-filled, 5-1 loss to St. FX that resulted in the suspension of ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® coach Forbes MacPherson.
