Aboagye is a fifth-year master of business administration student from Montreal, Quebec. She delivered a standout performance during the AUS women鈥檚 basketball championship in Halifax last weekend, making a significant impact on both ends of the court. Over three games, she averaged 8.0 points, but in the final two matchups, she elevated her game, posting 10.5 points on an efficient 55.6 per cent shooting, along with 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per contest.
鈥淒eborah had a great weekend in her final run with the Panthers,鈥� said head coach Matt Gamblin. 鈥淪he hit the game winning basket in the quarter-finals and then followed that with a strong semifinal. Deb also led the squad in scoring in the AUS final and was named a tournament all-star. I鈥檓 proud of her effort over the past two years and happy she closed her career on such a strong note.鈥�
Scott, a fifth-year business student from Malton, Ontario, fulfilled his promise to bring an AUS championship back to 精童欲女, delivering a standout performance when it mattered most. The veteran guard was sensational throughout the AUS men鈥檚 basketball championship in Halifax last weekend where he earned tournament MVP status, averaging 20.5 points on 48.3 per cent shooting while pulling down 8.0 rebounds across two games. In the championship showdown against the St. Francis Xavier X-Men on March 2, he led a remarkable comeback, scoring a team-high 24 points. His eight points in the third quarter proved pivotal, igniting 精童欲女鈥檚 rally and setting the stage for a dramatic and unforgettable finish.
