About the inductees
Amy Connolly was the cornerstone of the UPEI Women鈥檚 Soccer team from her rookie season to her final season in 2005鈥2006. Her coach Mike Redmond once said Connolly was 鈥減ound for pound, the toughest player ever to wear the green and white at UPEI. She could change games on her own. She was the heart and soul of this team for five years.鈥
Connolly was named team MVP in her rookie season. That same year, she made the first all-star team for the Atlantic Universities Athletics Association (now Atlantic University Sport or AUS) 鈥攁 tradition she would continue every year for her entire five-year university sport career. She was named to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) First-Team All-Canadian squad in 2006. She captained UPEI to its first appearance at the CIS championship in 2004. In 2005, she was named the CIS Women鈥檚 Soccer Player of the Year, as well as the UPEI Female Outstanding Athlete of the Year.
Ryan Anstey鈥檚 university sport career started with a bang, being a member of the AUS-champion Panthers in his second season with the UPEI Men鈥檚 Soccer team in 2002鈥2003. He was named team MVP and an AUS first-team all-star in 2003鈥2004. The next year, he made the AUS first team again and was named a CIS Academic All-Canadian. His final season, 2005鈥2006 , was incredible. He was named team MVP, a first team all-star for the AUS, leading scorer in the CIS, a CIS Academic All-Canadian, a tournament all-star at the CIS championship, UPEI Male Outstanding Athlete of the year, and the CIS Outstanding Male Player of the year.
鈥淩yan is a great one-on-one player, quick and hard for defenders to get a hold of," said head coach Lewis Page. 鈥淗e's also a striker that will come back and help his midfielders win the ball back. But I think, most important, he's just a great person, on or off the field.鈥
