QUEBEC CITY --
Mara Bouchard and
Chloe Renaud, both members of the McGill University women's soccer team, received national
honours at the U SPORTS All-Canadian banquet held at the
Hôtel Le Concorde in Quebec City, Wednesday.
Bouchard earned second-team All-Canadian
honours, while
Renaud merited national all-rookie status.
Bouchard, a 21-year-old psychology sophomore from
Granby, Que., becomes the 451st McGillian to earn All-Canadian honours and the 54th member of the soccer Martlets to do so, the first since
Kelsey Wilson in 2013.
Bouchard merited RSEQ first-team all-conference
honours for the second consecutive season. The 5-foot-4 defensive midfielder started all 14 games and had no points. She was selected four times in 15 contests by opposing coaches as McGill's player of the game.
Bouchard was the league's rookie of the year last season, earning all-rookie
honours at both the league and U SPORTS levels.
Renaud is a 19-year-old psychology freshman from St. Hubert, Que. The 5-foot-4 midfielder scored two goals and added a pair of assists to finish tied for second among the team's points leaders. She played in 13 of the team's 14 regular season contests and was picked four times by opposing coaches as McGill's player of the game.
Among the other national award recipients announced during the gala was the U SPORTS player of the year which went to the University of Ottawa's
Cassandra Provost, a sophomore forward from Acton Vale, Que. Rounding out the laureates was Laval midfielder
Léa-Jeanne Fortier (rookie of the year), Memorial midfielder
Katie Hickey (Student-Athlete Community Service Award), and Laval bench boss
David Desloges (Fox40 coach of the year).
The all-Canadian teams included Provost,
Sauvé, Steer, Rowe and
Fortier on the first team, along with goalkeeper
Sarah Johns (UBC), defender
Tilly James (Trinity Western), midfielders
Grace Longley (Acadia),
Jotam Chouhan (York),
Megan Chiasson (Dalhousie) and forward
Grace Mwasalla (
MacEwan).
Sauvé is a four-time honoree (2018, 2019, 2021), while Steer and Rowe each pick up their second nod.
Chiasson was a member of the 2021 all-rookie team.
Joining McGill's Bouchard on the second squad was Laval goalkeeper
Myriam Labrecque; defenders
Lauren Jodry (Acadia),
Anneke Odinga (
MacEwan),
Emma Steen (
STFX) and
Avarie Thomas (Western); midfielders
Tori Chia (Queen's) and
Anyssa Ibrahim (
UQAM); along with forwards
Rachel Barlow (Calgary),
Amanda Smith (StFX) and
Karly Hellstrom (Toronto).
Smith is a three-time honoree, while this is the second nod for
Jodry, and
Bouchard was a member of the 2021 all-rookie team.
In addition to Renaud, Fortier,
Hannaford,
Crowther and Fleming-Thompson, the all-rookie team consists of defender
Kiann Bohnert (
MacEwan); midfielders
Léonie Portelance (
Montréal),
Seema Sakran (Queen's) and
Ella Sunde (UBC); along with forwards
Olivia Allen (Ottawa),
Abbey Aucoin (Acadia) and
Elise Evans (Dalhousie).
The 2022 U SPORTS championship gets underway Thursday at Laval's
Stade TELUS and culminates Sunday with the national championship game at 2 p.m. Eastern. All 11 games from the eight-team tournament will be webcast live on CBC Gem and cbcsports.ca in English and USPORTS.ca in French.
