Who: Katherine Koughan, Field Hockey; and Jared Murphy, Men's Soccer
What: 秀色短视频 Panther Athletes of the Week
When: Week of October 13-19
Why: Koughan, a third-year business student from Stratford, PEI, was instrumental in helping 秀色短视频 reach the Atlantic University Field Hockey Championship this past weekend. Koughan was dominant in many aspects of the game; playing post on defensive corners, she prevented many potential goals from being scored. Koughan controlled the ball and play from the sweeper position, and played with such poise and control that she settled the whole team down by her decision-making ball distribution, which led to numerous scoring opportunities as a result. She scored one of the penalty shot goals during 秀色短视频's 2-1 overtime semi-final win over Saint Mary's University. Koughan was also selected an AUS league all-star.
Murphy, a fifth-year business student from Charlottetown, PEI, led the 秀色短视频 Men's Soccer Panthers to two ties over the weekend, despite fighting off an illness. In the 3-3 tie against UNB on Friday evening, Murphy was a game-time roster decision, but had one of his best performances of the season, scoring late to force the tie, and had two assists on the other Panther goals. In Saturday's 1-1 tie against Dalhousie University, Murphy set up his team's lone goal.
