Charlottetown, PEI (October 1, 2024)—Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panther Athletes of the Week for September 23–29, 2024, are Kayla Batchilder (women's field hockey) and Jahmal Boursiquot (men's soccer).
 
Batchilder had a phenomenal tournament at University of New Brunswick over the weekend. The second-year forward and kinesiology student from Charlottetown, PEI, scored eight goals in four games as the Panthers finished with a 3-0-1 record.
"Kayla was integral in our success this weekend, scoring 8 of our 13 goals. She has an ability to create chances and is incredible at putting the ball in the net," said head coach Lacey MacLauchlan.
Boursiquot, a first-year striker and business student from Ottawa, Ontario, scored both UPEI goals in a 2-1 win over Acadia University on September 29.
"Jahmal is proving just how dangerous he can be," said head coach Lewis Page. "His finishing against Acadia was clinical, and his relentless work ethic set a standard for his teammates to follow."
Go Panthers Go!
