Kelly Burgess

Burgess, a fourth-year science student from Halifax, scored three of the Huskies’ four goals last weekend in St. John’s as Saint Mary’s (3-4-3) picked up a pair of 2-0 road wins over Memorial to improve their playoff positioning. The prolific striker, who is tied for the AUS lead with six goals in 10 outings, netted the insurance marker in the second half of Saturday’s series-opening victory and accounted for all the scoring on Sunday. With three games remaining in conference play, the Huskies are fifth in the AUS standings, just one point clear of the sixth and final playoff spot.
