鈥淢ount A is playing very well these days,鈥� said coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淭hey are a hard-working team that is clearly building for the future. We have been fortunate so far, but really need to figure out how to score some goals, so it will be a great challenge for our team.

Saturday
The annual Shoot for the Cure game sees 69传媒Women鈥檚 Basketball host the University of New Brunswick at 6:00 pm in the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.
鈥淪aturday is a big game for the team not only in the scope of the AUS, but also because it is our Shoot for the Cure game,鈥� said coach Matt Gamblin. 鈥淲e hope everyone can throw on something pink and come out to cheer and support!鈥�
The game will feature a bake sale, raffle draw, and Shoot for the Cure t-shirts.
The Shoot for the Cure campaign has proven an overwhelming success since it was launched in the fall of 2007, with over $1.25 million in donations to date. All 47 U SPORTS women鈥檚 basketball schools will once again participate in the program for the eighth year in a row.
鈥淚 as well as so many others have been touched by the stories and the strength of people affected by breast cancer,鈥� said Kimeshia Henry with 69传媒Women鈥檚 Basketball. 鈥淥n January 20=, we are able to bring the community together to educate, raise funds and bring awareness in hopes of aiding in the fight to combat breast cancer. My team and I are so lucky to be part of this battle and we won鈥檛 let up until the fight is won.鈥�
The men host UNB at 8:00 pm.
鈥淎fter a couple of really tough losses on the road, this past weekend we are happy to be back in our familiar environment at home,鈥� said coach Darrell Glenn. 鈥淚 am hopeful that our team will play with the urgency that the situation demands.鈥�
As usual, all 69传媒students get into home games for free! Come on our and cheer on your Panthers!
Go Panthers Go!
