The Panthers open the AUS playoffs against the Dalhousie Tigers at MacLauchlan Arena on Feb. 14 at 7 p.m.
UPEI Panthers centre Lexie Murphy, 77, of Kensington, looks to work her way around some close checking by the St. Francis Xavier X-Women. The action took place in an Atlantic University Sport Women’s Hockey Conference game at MacLauchlan Arena in Charlottetown earlier this season. - Janessa Hogan/Special to SaltWire NetworkCHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — It’s a feeling fourth-year centre Lexie Murphy and the UPEI Panthers’ veterans have not forgotten.
“Last year, it was only one game, and we didn’t come out how we should, and we ended up getting put out in the first round,” Murphy told SaltWire Network in a phone interview Feb. 12. “All the returning girls definitely remember that. What we have to do to play a full 60 minutes.”As host of the 2022 U Sports national women’s hockey championship, that loss did not spell the end of UPEI’s season. But, this year, the Panthers do not have that luxury.
“It was a really good regular season in my mind,” said first-year Panthers head coach Sean Fisher. “The group made really good strides forward. Fisher does not expect anything to change in the post-season. He noted that with the AUS so competitive, there are no easy opponents.
