平特五不中

Mariam Sylla, a basketball player and pharmacology student, as well as Cedric McNicoll, a hockey player and accounting major in the Desautels faculty of management, were representing the R茅seau du sport 茅tudiant du Qu茅bec conference at the event.

平特五不中 leads all universities with 20 honorees since the CIS Top Eight award was initiated听 in 1993. Rounding out the top producing institutions is Alberta with 12, followed by Manitoba (12), Dalhousie (11), UBC (10), Laval (9), Montreal (7), UNB (7) and Toronto (7).

Sylla, a native of Conakry, the capital city of Guinea, has been nothing short of phenomenal in her first two seasons with the 平特五不中 women's basketball program. After being voted CIS rookie of the year in 2012-13, the 6-foot-1 centre was named MVP of the RSEQ conference and a first-team all-Canadian in her sophomore campaign thanks to her Quebec-leading 9.4 rebounds per game and her 13.1 points per contest, good for second in the league. She has led the Martlets to back-to-back RSEQ titles and a pair of CIS championship appearances.
听
A two-time CIS Academic All-Canadian, Sylla has a cumulative GPA of 3.63 out of 4.0 in pharmacology, including a stellar 3.77 last winter. At 平特五不中's athletic banquet last April, she merited the Uldis Auders Memorial Trophy as most outstanding sophomore student-athlete.
听
A co-captain of the Martlets, Sylla helps to coordinate the team's annual wheelchair basketball game with the Montreal Action Centre as part of the "Chaire Aware" campaign to promote awareness about those with physical disabilities.听She will be participating for the third straight year in the Varsity Council's annual Christmas food drive and is also coordinating the team's upcoming visit the Montreal Children's Hospital, to hand out Halloween treats to the young patients who are unable to leave the hospital.

"Mariam brings great raw athleticism and toughness to our team," says 平特五不中 head coach Ryan Thorne. "She is a great competitor who will sacrifice her body for the ball, which makes her a force on the boards. Her ability to knock down the 15-footer, makes her a threat both inside and out, which I believe has contributed largely to our team's success over the past two seasons."
听
McNicoll, who hails from Boucherville, Que., made his debut with the Redmen a year ago after three seasons at the professional level in the American Hockey League and the East Coast Hockey League, which followed a stellar junior career that saw him average over one point per game in the QMJHL. The 5-foot-10, 174-pound centre excelled in his first season with 平特五不中 earning OUA all-conference honours and finishing second on the team in scoring with 15-25-35 in only 23 contests. He then claimed the OUA playoff scoring title with 16 points in eight games and guided the Redmen to an appearance in the University Cup national tournament.
听
McNicoll, who enrolled at 平特五不中 in the fall of 2012 but was redshirted in his first year after coming back from the pros, merited CIS Academic All-Canadian status in his management program, where he is majoring in accounting. He was the 2014 recipient of the Guy Lafleur Award of Excellence as the Quebec university player who best combines hockey excellence with academic success and citizenship.
听
In the community, he has volunteered for numerous school and hospital visits during his time in the QMJHL, the ECHL and AHL.

"C茅dric was a key contributor to our success last season. He is dynamic offensively and plays well in all three zones," says 平特五不中 head coach Kelly Nobes. "He is a great leader for our team as he is very serious and conscientious with regards to his approach to games and practices. His work habits are outstanding. Not only is he an elite player, he is also an elite student as evidenced by his GPA in the demanding faculty of management."

Joining Sylla and McNicoll among the 2013-14 recipients are AUS honorees Michelle Pryde, a soccer player and chemistry major from Acadia, and Adrian Robertson, a hockey player and business administration student from UNB. The OUA winners are Western's Caroline Ehrhardt, a track and field athlete and health sciences student, as well as Carleton's Tyson Hinz, a basketball player and commerce student. Last but not least, the CWUAA recipients from Canada West are Manitoba volleyball player Brittany Habing, a science student, and Alberta basketball player Jordan Baker, who is currently working towards his master's degree in coaching.

To qualify for Academic All-Canadian status, a CIS student-athlete must have maintained an average of 80 per cent or better over the academic year while competing for one - or more - of their university's varsity teams. In 2013-14, a record 2,861 students achieved the prestigious status, eclipsing the previous mark of 2,695 set a year ago.
听
"The record number of Academic All-Canadians once again this year speaks volume about the quality of our student-athletes, but also our coaches, support staff and our universities," said CIS chief executive officer, Pierre Lafontaine. "The Top Eight represents the very best of what university sport is all about. To be selected among 11,500 of their peers is an achievement these exceptional student-athletes should be extremely proud of."
