Stephanie Gawlinski’s (BKin '99, BComm '02) greatest moment as a student-athlete capped off one of the most unlikely championships in school history as she led the Dinos to the 1998 women’s soccer national title. A three-time All-Canadian, she was the face of a Cinderella run with two goals and an assist in a 3-2 championship game over host Victoria, earning tournament MVP honours in the process.
It capped off a banner year for the Hall of Famer.
Gawlinski entered the season brimming with confidence after capturing the gold medal with the Canadian national team during the 1998 CONCACAF Women’s Championship in Toronto. Canada blanked Mexico 1-0 in the final.
But her excellence didn’t just come in that playoff run – she scored 23 goals in 50 career games and was named a Canada West all-star four times, earning MVP honours in 1996. She was the Dinos’ athlete of the year in both 1996 and 1998, and she was Canada West’s nominee for the BLG Award in 1999.
