This week we are flashing back to the year 1994 when the women’s soccer team was crowned national champions! The photo features (Front Row L-R): Meghan Johnson, Leahanne Turner. First Row (L-R): Amy Harding, Val Hutchings, Karen Hood, Kate Gillespie, Amy Joseph, Mito Duong, Suzanne Jones (Manager), Andrea Foreman. Second Row (L-R): Pam MacDonald, Tara Schiebel, Cindi Wilson, Allison Sears, Laura Fielding, Maureen Riley, Carla Perry, Dara Moore (Assistant Coach). Third Row (L-R): Jane Walton, Eva Al-Khouri, Sue Hunter, Dana Skinner, Neil Turnbull (Head Coach).
This was coach Turnbull’s second year with the team and he helped guide them to a regular season record of 5-1-5. Turnbull finished his coaching career with the Tigers in 1997 with a winning percentage of 52%.
Leahanne Turner, Dana Holmes, Carla Perry and Kate Gillespie were all named to the AUS first team all-star list. Carla Perry arguably had one of the most memorial seasons for the team as she was also named a CIS first team all-Canadian and the CIS championship MVP.
