Sarah Bujold Wins MVP Award

StFX X-Women forward Sarah Bujold named MVP

(HALIFAX, N.S.) - Atlantic University Sport is pleased to announce the 2016-17 AUS women's hockey all-stars and major award winners as selected by the conference's seven head coaches.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Sarah Bujold, StFX X-Women

The Atlantic University Sport women's hockey most valuable player is third-year forward Sarah Bujold of the StFX X-Women.

A human kinetics student from Riverview, N.B., Bujold led the conference and the country in both points (43) and goals scored this season (24).

Bujold led the X-Women to a third-place finish in the regular season, with a 16-8-0 record.

Her plus-minus rating of +30 was the second highest in the country. She led the conference in game-winning goals, with five, and in empty net goals, with three.

Bujold is the third player from the StFX X-Women to win the conference MVP award. Former StFX standout Brayden Ferguson won the honour following the 2007-08 season and recent X-Women alumna Alexa Normore earned the award four consecutive times from 2011-12 to 2014-15.

Bujold now becomes the AUS nominee for the Brodrick Trophy as U Sports player of the year. StFX's Ferguson is the only Atlantic conference player to earn the national honour.
