EDMONTON – The University of Calgary Dinos women's soccer team tied for a conference-high six honourees as the Canada West announced its all-star and all-rookie teams, as well as its major award winners on Thursday.
After winning the Canada West Rookie of the Year award one year ago, defender Talia White earned a spot on the first all-star team. Goaltender Lauren Houghton, defender
Kayla Kreutzer, and offensive player Montana Leonard were named to the second all-star team, while Houghton and first-year defender Maya Ida cracked the all-rookie team.
UBC Thunderbird Jasmin Dhanda was named the 2017 Canada West Women's Soccer Player of the Year. The Surrey, B.C. product ran away with the CW goal scoring crown this season, netting 14 goals, while adding six assists to top the conference in points with 20. A conference first-team all-star each of the last two seasons, Dhanda caps off her five-year career with Canada West's top individual honour.
Dhanda, along with Alberta's Brooke Lang (Rookie of the Year), MacEwan's Kristen Skrundz (Student-Athlete Community Service), and Alberta's Liz Jepsen (Coach of the Year), were named as the conference's major award winners.
Earning team accolades were the Victoria Vikes, who take home the Fair Play Award after earning just one yellow card all season.
