RECRUITED⚽ | Women’s Soccer Panthers secure versatile threat GRACE GALLOWAY

Galloway arrives at UPEI following an impressive youth career with U17 AAA Inter Halifax, where she served as co-captain and helped lead her squad to a Nova Scotia provincial championship and a fourth-place finish at the 2025 Canada Soccer National Championships.

She has continued her development through the Halifax Tides FC Academy and gained valuable experience at the 2026 Vancouver Whitecaps Showcase, competing against some of the top young talent in the country.

A fast, athletic, and versatile player, Galloway can impact the game in both attacking and defensive roles. Her work rate, ability to connect passes, and knack for creating scoring opportunities make her a valuable addition to the Panthers' lineup.

"We're thrilled to announce Grace's commitment to our program. Grace brings an incredible work ethic, elite versatility, and explosive speed to our squad, and we're excited to see the impact she'll have." – Head Coach János Barna

RECRUITED⚽ | Women’s Soccer Panthers add composed defender ABIGAIL WAITE

Waite joins the Panthers following a successful youth career that included a New Brunswick Provincial Championship and a sixth-place finish at Nationals. A respected leader on and off the pitch, she also served as captain of her Fredericton High School squad, helping set the tone through her work ethic and team-first mentality.

A composed and competitive defender, Waite brings strong communication, leadership, and a calm presence under pressure. She reads the game well, competes relentlessly, and consistently puts the team first, while continuing to push herself to improve both on and off the field.

"Abby is an aggressive defender who challenges for every ball. With her wide range of passing, she has the ability to break lines with accurate short passes or hit dangerous diagonal balls over the top that catch opposing defenders off guard. We’re looking forward to adding her skillset to the team.” – Head Coach János Barna

They don’t come much more deserving than Grace Lancaster.

Last week at Convocation, Grace was named this year’s recipient of the Rory Beck Outstanding Academic and Athletic Leadership Award, an honour presented to the graduating student who best represents excellence in athletics, academics, leadership, and campus spirit.

For five years, Grace poured everything she had into UPEI Women’s Basketball—and her final season was the perfect reflection of that commitment.

Stepping into a major leadership role, Lancaster helped guide the Panthers to a 13-7 regular season record and a return trip to the AUS final. She led the team in scoring with 15.2 points per game, while adding 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 steals, and 1.9 assists, earning AUS all-star honours for the first time in her career.

She was also recognized as the W.A. Ledwell Award recipient at this year’s Panther Celebration, putting the finishing touch on a remarkable career defined by work ethic, growth, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to the green and white.

Congratulations, Grace, and best of luck in your next chapter!💚
