UPEI Women’s Field Hockey capture third straight regional championship
The UPEI Women’s Field Hockey Panthers completed a stunning three-peat, capturing their third straight Atlantic University Field Hockey (AUFH) championship with a dramatic 1-0 shootout win over the Dalhousie University Tigers on October 20.
The two powerhouse teams, both finishing the regular season with identical undefeated 10-0-2 records, were destined to meet in the final after drawing twice during the regular season. But in the end, only one champion could emerge, and UPEI came up big when it mattered most.
