Six North Shore players helped the UBC Thunderbirds become the first school ever to win three straight national field hockey titles when they toppled the University of Victoria Vikes 3-1 in the championship final earlier this month.
North Vancouver's Hannah Haughn scored two goals while Rachel Donahoe, also of North Van, added a single in the championship final. Joining them on the history making squad were Meghan Hayden of North Vancouver and West Vancouver's Sophie Jones, Samantha Saddler and Katrina Davis. The win gave UBC their 15th McCrae Cup, the most in CIS history.
Both Donahoe and Haughn were named All-Canadians at an awards ceremony held during the tournament.
