Jayda Veinot, of the women’s basketball team, is the UNB REDS/Papa John’s Pizza female Athlete of the Week.
Veinot was a standout performer, helping the REDS to a pair of wins over UPEI and extend their season-opening win streak to six games.
In Friday’s 85-63 win, the 5th year guard scored a game-high 20 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had a pair of blocks.
On Saturday, in the REDS’ 65-54 victory, Veinot played every minute, scoring 15 points and adding eight rebounds, eight assists, three steals and three blocks.
“Jayda had two great games for us this weekend helping our team to two wins,” said REDS’ head coach Erin McAleenan. “Not only was she a settling presence offensively, often being able to find a way to score when we needed it, but also finding her teammates. Jayda showed poise and leadership in a close game Saturday night which enabled us to close out the game and seal the win.”
Veinot and her REDS teammates now prepare to face the Cape Breton Capers, in Sydney, on Saturday afternoon.
