Why: Collier, a fifth-year Kinesiology student from Stanhope, PEI, has been instrumental in the team’s recent turnaround. The decision to move Collier back from the striker position to full back has been a significant influence on the team's improved play the last two weeks. During this weekend's 1-0 win over Dal and 1-0 loss to SMU, Collier played strong and showed tremendous leadership on the pitch.
Parker, a fourth-year Bachelor of Business Administration student from New Minas, NS, had a great weekend for the Panthers in the Eric Garland Tournament at UNB. Parker had 23 points and 7 rebounds in the teams 97-88 win over UNB Friday night, 30 points (career high) and 7 rebounds in the last second 97-95 loss versus Laval on Saturday, and 26 points and 8 rebounds in the 113-107 OT loss to SMU on Sunday.
