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.
