Cougars win GPAC crown
Last weekend the PAC was chock-full of fans as the Cougar Women's Basketball Team faced the University of Winnipeg Wesmen in a tough battle for the right to go to the CIAU National Championship.
The Cougars did not disappoint as they swept the Wesmen in two games and are now in Edmonton facing Western University in the National Quarter-Finals.
Time for a little redemption
As her university basketball career draws to a close, Andrea Gottselig has that rare opportunity that all athletes wish for, but so few ever receive. She can go out on top of the world.
Gottselig will play the final games of a brilliant five-year CIAU career this weekend in Edmonton, a career that has seen her win virtually every title or award available to a GPAC player - every title, that is, except the Bronze Baby, awarded annualy to the CIAU women's basketball champion. But time is running short. If Gottselig is to add that trophy to the crowded mantle, it will have to be done this weekend.
Nationals "a huge step" for Cougars
The University of Regina Cougars went in with high hopes but they had to look past the end result to evaluate their performance.
Regina finished the CIAU National Women's Volleyball Championship in Winnipeg last weekend with a disappointing 0-2 record but came home with an abundance of experience and hope for the future.
Cougars clean up GPAC women's basketball awards
Several individuals of the U of R Women's Basketball Team added more awards to their long list of achievements when the GPAC announced their award recipients recently.
Head coach Christine Stapleton won GPAC Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year. Cymone Bouchard was named Rookie of the Year and was an All-Star Rookie. Bree Burgess made the 2nd team All Star for the second year in a row, while Corrin Wersta was named to the 1st team All Star for the third consecutive year.
