Elizabeth Hudon

Hudon, a fourth-year kinesiology student from Prince Albert, Sask., had a career weekend tallying five goals and two assists to help the Huskies (1-2-1) pick up their first points of the young Canada West season with a 9-0 shutout of Lethbridge and a 2-2 draw against Calgary. On Saturday, the senior striker opened the scoring in the third minute of play on a penalty kick, completed her hat trick before halftime and added a pair of helpers before being taken out of the lopsided match after 72 minutes. Her contribution was even more critical on Sunday as she scored both Saskatchewan goals in the tie against the Dinos. The Huskies face quite a challenge this weekend when they travel to B.C. to meet nationally top-ranked and two-time defending CIS champion Trinity Western (4-0-0) on Friday and No. 5 UBC (3-0-1) on Saturday.
