OUA All-Stars
Announced
I am very pleased to announce that Jenny Wright and Robyn
Pearson were selected as 1st Team OUA All-Stars, and that Myriam Fontaine was selected to the OUA
All-Rookie Team. This is Jenny’s third
consecutive selection to the 1st Team All-Stars, after being select
to the All-Rookie team in her first year.
Robyn finished the season leading the country in rebounding. Myriam’s game grew dramatically over the
course of the year, increasing her minutes from 7/game in the fall to over
15/game in the second half of the season.
Speaking of All-Stars, Queen’s standout, Gemma Bullard (2013-14 OUA All-Star),
will be making her return to the team for the 2016-17 season. Having successfully navigated surgery on her
wrist this past season, she is already working hard in the weight room and
anxious to get back on the court. Her
talent and maturity will have an instant positive impact on the team.
Stayed tuned for another exciting player announcement coming
shortly. Just need to get the (i)s
dotted and the (t)s crossed.
