Hansen and McMurray named February AOTM
Carter Hansen and Matlin McMurray have been named the Kodiaks February Athletes of the Month.
March 23, 2020 - We're officially playing catchup!
With a busy slate of championships and nationals games in March, time happened to get away from us. Now, we realize we completely missed acknowledging our February Athletes of the Month. So let's do that now!
Carter Hansen (MVB) and Matlin McMurray (WBB) turned it on as the games started to matter the most, which has earned them February Athletes of the Month honours, sponsored by Moxie's Lethbridge and Italian Table.
Carter Hansen (MVB)
The ACAC all-time kills leader was an offensive dynamo down the stretch, in particular at the 2020 ACAC Championships in front of his home town fans. His power game and smart attacks helped lift the Kodiaks all the way to the ACAC title game, which secured them a spot at the 2020 CCAA National Championship tournament in New Brunswick. Hansen was named an ACAC championship tournament all star and was named to the ACAC south division all-conference team.
Matlin McMurray (WBB)
With a playoff spot on the line, McMurray's sharp shooting from beyond the arc, great distribution and tenacious defence was crucial to her team's tremendous late season surge. Her game winning layup secured a huge upset of top ranked Olds College on Feb. 15, a win that ultimately helped the Kodiaks secure the third seed in the ACAC south division.
