Hawks Host 1st Place Panthers

Last Action

Memorial is coming off a road weekend split to the 2nd place Acadia Axewomen, while UPEI scored 20+ point victories over Dalhousie and StFX last weekend at home.

By The Numbers

59.8 – The Panthers are the only team in the AUS keeping their opponent below 60 PPG this season. Memorial enters the weekend averaging 77.4 PPG.   

6 – The Panthers swept the Sea-Hawks in PEI to start the season, but only won those games by a combined 6 points (79-75, 62-60). Memorial will look to avenge those losses this weekend and move up the AUS standings.

Player Spotlight

Haille Nickerson (Memorial) – Nickerson enters this weekend averaging 15.7 PPG (5th in the AUS) on the season. Haille gives the Sea-Hawks a big scoring lift off the bench and they will once again need her to come up big if they are going to take down the 1st place Panthers.

Jenna Mae Ellsworth (UPEI) – Ellsworth leads the Panthers in scoring, averaging 15.5 PPG on the season. She contributes on both ends of the floor and will look to be a thorn in the Sea-Hawks side all weekend long.
