SEASON PREVIEW: With renewed belief, Women’s Soccer Panthers look to snap playoff drought

If the exhibition results are any indication, the UPEI Women’s Soccer Panthers should be a fun team to watch this season.

Head coach Lewis Page was pleased to watch his team finish the preseason slate with a 2–2–0 record, including impressive wins against St. FX and UNB—two teams expected to sit atop the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) standings.

The biggest difference Page has seen from his squad since becoming their coach in 2020 has been their drive to win.

“They’ve really raised their competitive desire to a higher level, and it’s exciting to watch,” he said.
