"I am so very proud of my two seniors and I will miss their talents and leadership on and off the field", stated Coach Boardman. "I am looking forward to our young squad next year to see who steps up to fill the roles of these two seniors. As for Sam, I look forward to watching her continue to grow as a player and a person. The sky's the limit for Sam and I know she will be a strong player for us next year and for years to come."

The Panthers finished the season 24-29 overall and 7-11 in the CCAC. PNC looks to the 2013 season after having a very strong recruiting season.
