ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - The Brock University Department of Athletics held their 42 Annual Athletic Awards Dinner Tuesday night in front of a crowd of over 500 at the Quality Hotel Parkway and Convention Centre. Women's soccer player Tiffany Scriver (Burlington, Ont.) and men's wrestler Alex Brown-Theriault (Ottawa, Ont.) were named the 2008-09 Brock Athletes of the Year.
Scriver ended her university career as one of the most decorated female student-athletes in school history. In her fifth and final season, the five-time Academic All-Canadian led the Brock women's soccer team to their best finish in school history capturing a bronze medal at the OUA Championships, going out on a high with a silver medal performance at the CIS National Championships.
During the regular season, Scriver posted a 5-1-2 regular season record with 4 shutouts. She finished second in the OUA and tied for fourth in the CIS with a 0.44 goals against average. At the National Championships, she posted a 2-1 record with a 0.67 GAA including a shutout in the semi-finals against the No. 1 nationally ranked Montreal Carabins. For her performance, she was named the CIS All-Tournament team goalkeeper.
Scriver ends her career first in every statistical category, highlighted by 32 career shutouts, 29 career wins and a 0.54 career GAA. She also holds four Brock women's soccer single season records for Games Played (14 - 2006), Wins (6 - 2006), Shutouts (9 - 2006), and GAA (0.33 - 2005)
Finalists for Female Athlete of the Year included Beth Clause (women's hockey), Larissa Lagzdins (women's rowing) and Shauna Peddle (women's volleyball).
Brown-Theriault had a strong 2008-09 campaign for the Brock men's wrestling team, leading them to their 15th consecutive OUA title and a silver medal at the CIS National Championships.
