All good things must end
The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks ended the longest running streak in Canadian women's hockey history when they defeated the University of Alberta Pandas 4-1 at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Women's Ice Hockey Championships this weekend.
Alberta suffered their first loss since Oct. 13, 2001, and ended their unprecedented 111 game winning streak.
Golden Hawks' player Amanda Joseph scored twice to lead her team to victory. Jennifer Heslin and Jessica Judges each notched one goal as well.
Laurier keeper Cindy Eadie, the CIS first team All-Star goalie, let only one shot slip past her, allowing Danielle Bourgeois, the CIS Player of the Year, to score.
Due to Laurier's win, the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) will now be able to send two teams to next year's CIS tournament hosted by St. Francis Xavier.
Canadian All-Stars
Two of the staples of the women's hockey team have been nationally recognized for their achievements.
Forward Kate Allgood, in her first year as a Badger, has been named a member of the All-Canadian Second Team. Allgood led the CIS in regular season goals with a total of 25, along with 18 assists to give her a total of 43 points.
Also being recognized was head coach Todd Erskine. Erskine was awarded Coach of the Year for his part in Brock's best season ever - nationally ranked for most of the season, solidified by its highest finish in the OUA standings.
Welcome to the Clan
The Simon Fraser University Clan women's basketball team capped off an amazing season with one new accessory: a CIS gold medal.
The Clan, undefeated since their first exhibition game in September, has not lost to a Canadian team all year.
In the final against host team Winnipeg, the score stood final at 70-60.
Clan captain Dani Langford, Player of the Game and tournament MVP, recorded a double-double with 13 points and 10 assists, along with three steals.
Joanne Wells of the Winnipeg Wesmen and the CIS Player of the Year, scored a game high of 23 points in her effort to lead her team to the silver medal, but it was not meant to be.
