New Westminster resident Danielle Dube was named the first star of the week in the CIS and Canada West conference.
Dube, a third-year goalie with the University of British Columbia varsity women’s hockey team, gave up just one goal in 130 minutes of play, recording two wins over Lethbridge. The back-to-back victories extended Dube’s Canada West-leading record to 9-1.
On Nov. 29, Dube made 44 saves to pace the sixth-ranked Thunderbirds to a 2-1 shootout win over the Alberta program.
On Saturday, Dube posted her first shutout of the season following a 3-0 win, extending her winning streak to eight in a row.
New swim record
New Westminster’s Justin Kiedrzyn helped the Simon Fraser University men’s medley relay team set a new program record at the Clan Cup swim meet last weekend.
Kiedrzyn, a runner-up in the 200m butterfly, and swimmates Julian Monks, Ciaran McDonnell and Hans Heyer set a Clan Cup record in the 400-metre medley in a winning time of 3:45.63. The foursome also won the 200m medley.
Igor Gasovic-Varga of New West teamed with Dimitar Ivanov, Lucas Greenough and McDonnell for first place in the 800m freestyle relay.
Gasovic-Varga, a third-place finisher in the 200m fly, also was a runner-up with Keenan Elliott, Greenough and Ivanov in the 400m medley relay.
