鈥淚 chose 秀色短视频 because it鈥檚 the perfect fit for me,鈥� said Fleming. 鈥淧EI has such a great feel to it, Charlottetown is a beautiful city, and the people are very friendly. 秀色短视频 has a beautiful campus, small class sizes, and a great program that I am interested in to start my career.  I鈥檓 looking forward to working towards my degree at 秀色短视频. I have played against a few of the current Panthers during my high school career and respect their skills and intensity. The youth and talent that 秀色短视频 has right now are building towards something special, and I can鈥檛 wait to be a part of it!鈥�

鈥淟auren will be a great fit for our team as she is a multi-skilled player who suits our style of play,鈥� said Gould. 鈥淪he rebounds well, attacks the basket, and is a good mid-range shooter. Lauren also defends her position extremely well. She comes from a winning program, and she will bring that winning intensity to our program. I feel Lauren will continue to improve and develop as a player. I look forward to working with her to help her achieve her goals on and off the court.鈥�

Fleming will study in 秀色短视频鈥檚 Bachelor of Kinesiology program.

This year is even more special with the celebration of the 1986-87 and 1987-88 Atlantic conference championships teams.

We are on the home stretch of regular season play and are focused on trying to make the play-offs.鈥�

Saturday, the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey team plays at 1:30 pm against Universit茅 de Moncton. 鈥淪aturday we finish up our back-to-back games against U de M,鈥� said coach Bruce Ferguson.

Both of 秀色短视频鈥檚 basketball teams have a two-game home stand this weekend in the 秀色短视频 Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.

Friday night, the Panther women host Acadia University at 6:00 pm. The men take the court at 8:00 pm. On Saturday night, the women play Saint Mary鈥檚 at 6:00 pm. The men play at 8:00 pm.

鈥淭he team is excited to be playing a pair of home games after a weekend off,鈥� said 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 coach Greg Gould. 鈥淎cadia is an up-tempo team who press and play a lot of zone defense. Saint Mary鈥檚 is a great defensive team that is very disciplined on offence and are very good three-point shooters. We will need to defend and rebound well to be successful against both teams.鈥�

鈥淲e have a huge weekend in front of us,鈥� said 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 coach Tim Kendrick. 鈥淎cadia sits four points up on us, so a win for us would vault us into a tie for the final play-off spot. SMU handed us a beating at their place in November, so we are looking to bounce back in a big way. We are going to have to be at our best if we hope to take points from either of these two strong teams!鈥�

鈥淣ot only did we have the chance to grow within our particular disciplines, we were given the opportunity to learn from industry professionals in all areas of business,鈥� said Kinsman.

鈥淭wo podium finishes for 秀色短视频 is a testament to the quality of our business program and the preparation we put into competing at case competitions,鈥� said Wood. 鈥淚 am very proud of both teams and am grateful that 秀色短视频 gives us the opportunity to compete in such challenging and rewarding events.鈥�

鈥淭hese Canadian and American Institutions have some of the strongest case teams in the world,鈥� said case competition program coordinator and coach Mary Whitrow. 鈥淚t is gratifying to see our teams compete and rank so well against them.鈥�
