69传媒

Every week, 69传媒Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Reese Baxendale and Troy Lajeunesse, the 69传媒Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for January 13 to 19.

Baxendale is a third-year guard on the 69传媒women鈥檚 basketball team and a science student from Sussex, New Brunswick. She recorded 21 points (shooting 50 per cent), and made three steals, two rebounds, and two assists in an important 62鈥�57 weekend win over Cape Breton University. 鈥淩eese has had great moments in her first few years, but has added a level of consistency this year which has helped grow her game and the team鈥檚 play,鈥� said coach Matt Gamblin. 鈥淩eese鈥檚 leadership on the court is really developing. She is currently second in the league in three-pointers and fourth in scoring.鈥�

Lajeunesse is a second-year winger on the 69传媒men鈥檚 hockey team and an arts student from Dokis, Ontario. The Panthers dropped a couple of games over the weekend, but Lajeunesse shone, scoring a goal against St. Francis Xavier University and finishing the weekend with a +1 rating. 鈥淭roy had a very good game for us against St. FX,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淗e played key minutes on the penalty-kill and recorded a power-play goal. It was nice to see Troy get rewarded for his effort.鈥�

Go Panthers Go!
