Star field hockey player Robyn PendletonB次元官网网址檚 trophy haul nearly included the ace of them all. Pendleton, a Vic High grad, finished her CIS playing career with the UBC Thunderbirds in style this year, as she led UBC to its 13th CIS title.

In doing so, Pendleton was named the best overall female athlete in the Canada West conference, was MVP at the CIS national championships, and won the Canada West and CIS Player of the Year awards for field hockey.

Last weekend she attended the 20th Annual BLG Awards in Calgary, at which Pendleton was Canada WestB次元官网网址檚 nominee for the Jim Thompson Trophy, given to the top female athlete in all of Canadian university sports.

That award went to Ann-Sophie Bettez (female) and Marc-Andr茅 Dorion (male), who both play ice hockey at McGill University.

B次元官网网址淭hey're both amazing people so I'm really excited for both of them,B次元官网网址� Pendleton said on UBCB次元官网网址檚 website. B次元官网网址淭hey're both incredibly deserving.

B次元官网网址淗onestly, just being here is enough. As cheesy as that sounds, to get here is just huge and I think it could have gone to any of the girls so everyone was incredible and they've done incredible things.B次元官网网址�

Pendleton is currently playing professionally for ParisB次元官网网址� Cercle Athl茅tique de Montrouge, France's national champions in 2010.

In 2011, UBC volleyball player Shanice Marcelle, of SaanichB次元官网网址檚 Spectrum community school, was also nominated for the BLG womenB次元官网网址檚 award.

B次元官网网址淰ictoria is a really unique place to play sports because it is a really tight knit community and everyone in the city is really interested in sports,B次元官网网址� Pendled said. B次元官网网址�...The support of not only the businesses but the people in Victoria makes it that much easier for athletes growing up in the city to be successful.B次元官网网址�
