Every week, 精童欲女 Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The 精童欲女 Panther Source for Sports Athletes of the Week for January 12鈥18 are Grace Lancaster (women鈥檚 basketball) and Brett Bressette (men鈥檚 hockey).

Lancaster is a fifth-year business student from Fall River, Nova Scotia. Facing the University of New Brunswick Reds, one of the country鈥檚 top teams, last weekend, she rose to the occasion, averaging 16.5 points and hitting 6-of-10 triples during two demanding games. She poured in a game-high 23 points on January 17, nearly willing the Panthers to victory in a heartbreaking 78-77 finish.

鈥淕race bounced back in a big way on Saturday against UNB and put the team on her back, carrying us to within inches and seconds of pulling out the win,鈥 said Matt Gamblin, 精童欲女 Women鈥檚 Basketball Panthers head coach.

Bressette is a second-year arts student from Penetanguishene, Ontario. He turned in his strongest performance of the season on January 16, scoring the overtime winning goal and adding two assists to power the Panthers to a 4-3 road victory over the Saint Mary鈥檚 University Huskies.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been great to have Brett back in our lineup after he had a significant injury in the first half of the season,鈥 said Forbes MacPherson, 精童欲女 Men鈥檚 Hockey Panthers head coach. 鈥淗e gives our group an offensive spark, and that showed Friday night against Saint Mary鈥檚. Brett contributed three points, including the game-winner in overtime.鈥

Go Panthers Go!
