Mounties Senior's Day Spoiled by Seawolves

The Mounties fell to the visiting UNBSJ Seawolves in a hotly contested battle for 5th position in the ACAA (Atlantic Collegiate Athletics Association) standings.

This was a special day for the Mounties as they honored two special graduating student-athletes, their captains.

• Emilie Botma, a "Middle" from Halifax Nova Scotia will be graduating with a Bachelor of Arts, Political Science 
• Amanda McBain a "Setter" from Charlottetown, PEI who will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science, Majoring in Psychology.

The Mounties are looking forward to seeing the great things these women will accomplish as they move on to their next chapters and wish them both the best of luck.
