Jayda Veinot, of the women’s basketball team, is the UNB REDS/Papa John’s Pizza female Athlete of the Week.
The fifth-year wing led the REDS in two decisive road wins over the UPEI Panthers.
In Friday’s 65-45 victory, Veinot scored a game-high 24 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and had three assists while playing 35 of 40 minutes.
“Jayda carried us in both games this weekend to start the second term with two wins on the road,” said REDS’ head coach Erin McAleenan. “She scored 13 points in the first quarter of the game on Friday which really got us going. I thought her decision making and ability to find her teammates really helped us play some great team basketball. With a double-double Saturday, Jayda continues to demonstrate that she’s among the best in the league.”
Veinot and her REDS teammates are preparing to host to the Saint Mary’s Huskies and Dalhousie Tigers this weekend.
