Panthers at Home, November 10-11
Friday and Saturday are packed for the Panthers at home. Catch action for Women鈥檚 and Men鈥檚 Hockey, Women鈥檚 and Men鈥檚 Basketball, and the Maritimes University Men鈥檚 Rugby Championship game.
秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Basketball starts the weekend with the first of two games against the University of New Brunswick. The tip-off for both Friday and Saturday鈥檚 games is at 6:00 pm.
鈥淎fter a split with Saint Mary鈥檚 on the road last weekend, our team is looking forward to playing at home against another strong AUS opponent,鈥� said coach Greg Gould. 鈥淚 felt we defended well against Saint Mary鈥檚 and are looking to step up our offence against UNB. It often comes down to the little things like rebounding, taking care of the basketball, making our free throws, and sharing the basketball.鈥�
秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Basketball also hosts UNB for a pair of games. Friday and Saturday鈥檚 games begin at 8:00 pm.
鈥淭his weekend鈥檚 games present some very serious challenges for us defensively,鈥� said coach Darrell Glenn. 鈥淚f we want to have any hope of competing, we will have to do a much better job in defensive transition and defensive rebounding than we did last weekend.鈥�
秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Hockey plays at home in MacLauchlan Arena Friday and Saturday night. Friday, the Panthers take on Dalhousie University; Saturday, it鈥檚 St. Francis Xavier University鈥檚 turn to play. Both games start at 7:00 pm.
鈥淲e continue to work very hard, clean up some areas, and focus on the process,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淭here are times that we are very pleased with our game. We need to pull together and hopefully get rewarded with a pair of wins.鈥�
Fresh off of its victory last weekend for the NB/PEI University Men鈥檚 Rugby Championship, the Panthers are ready to play St. Francis Xavier University in the Maritime University Men鈥檚 Rugby Championship. The game starts at 2:00 pm.
鈥淚 think the last time we played St. FX, I was playing for 秀色短视频 and not coaching, so we certainly aren鈥檛 familiar with the opponent we face on Saturday,鈥� said coach Charles Waddell. 鈥淥ur plan is to work hard, play our game, and leave it all out on the field.鈥�
秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey has just one game at home this weekend. The Panthers play Universit茅 de Moncton at 3:00 pm. Coach Bruce Donaldson says his team is hungry for a win.
鈥淭his will be our fourth game against them (including exhibition), and Moncton has won each time by a goal,鈥� said Donaldson. 鈥淲e really need to do a better job defending on the penalty-kill. Moncton moves the puck very well and does a great job of getting the puck to open players for scoring opportunities. This is a big weekend for our program鈥攚e have some ground to make up in the standings, so we need all our players on the same page.鈥�
