In a decisive win against NAIT, Eagles basketball took home the gold medal at this year's ACAC Provincial Championships at Briercrest College their first title in program history.
"A big part of our program growth in the last few years is that we don't have a one-man team," says head coach Torey Hill. "Everyone's contributing, all our players want to be here. Heading into nationals, I'm super excited for this team."
This will be the last season for senior athletes Aneilia Ayotte (Environmental Studies '26), Megan Aleman (Interdisciplinary Science '26), and Jamie Bunting (Elementary Education '27). Both Ayotte and Aleman achieved ACAC All-Conference status this year, and each athlete has broken several ACAC records and personal bests.
The team heads to CCAA Nationals in Montreal, Quebec March 18 to 21.
