For the first time in program history, the St. FX X-Women will not be playing in the AUS Rugby Final, and they have the UPEI Panthers to thank for that. 

The Panthers denied the X-Women's opportunity to extend their winning streak Thursday, October 20, in a hard-fought 14-12 win. In the process, UPEI clinched their first finals berth since 2006 and will face the Acadia Axewomen on Wednesday, October 26, in Wolfville at 6 pm for the conference title. The Panthers also secured a spot at the U SPORTS Women's Rugby Championship hosted by the University of Victoria.

UPEI’s Chief Information Officer Dana Sanderson updated the University community on the UPEI Network Modernization Project in messages to students, faculty, and staff this October, which is Cybersecurity Month.

The project, which began in September 2019, stemmed from an increasing demand on the University’s network combined with increasing complexity and cybersecurity requirements in the areas of teaching, research, and operations. 

The UPEI Field Hockey team won the 2022 Atlantic University Field Hockey League (AUFHL) championship in Halifax on October 23. The Panthers defeated the Saint Mary’s Huskies 3-0 in the final. 

The UPEI club team finished the regular season in first place with a 12-1-1 record, and beat Acadia 5-1 and Saint Mary’s 3-0 in playoff wins to secure the championship title. It was UPEI’s first time to win the AUFHL championship since 2018. 

Congratulations Panthers!
 

The UPEI Men’s Basketball Panthers accomplished many firsts in 2021–22 under Darrell Glenn’s leadership. The team finished with their best record in five years, fielded an all-star, and earned a playoff spot, then went on to play in the AUS conference finals.

Ultimately, they did not come away with a championship, but this year they are looking to close the deal and bring a title back to Charlottetown for the first time in 20 years.
