Female Athlete of the Week
Janelle Parent
Women’s Hockey
StFX University
3rd year
Panoka, Alta.
Janelle Parent of the CIS No. 4-ranked StFX X-Women hockey team is the Atlantic University Sport Subway Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending January 15, 2012. Parent, a third-year forward from Panoka, Alta., tallied nine points in a pair of weekend wins as the X-Women improved to 13-2-0 and moved into first place in the AUS standings.
In Friday’s 4-3 road victory over Dalhousie, Janelle scored two goals and an assist as the X-Women held off a late rally from the Tigers. In Saturday’s 8-0 shutout win over the visiting Saint Mary’s Huskies, she netted an impressive five goals, including the first four of the game, and added another assist. Parent, who is currently second among the AUS scoring leaders with 15 goals and 15 assists for 30 points, was credited with the game-winner in both contests.
Her five-goal effort in Saturday’s game also ties her for the second-most goals scored in a single game in AUS history. Former StFX star Tracy Sullivan holds the AUS record with seven goals in a game during the 2000-01 season.
The two wins this weekend clinched a playoff berth for the X-Women in the 2012 Subway AUS women’s hockey championship, which is scheduled for March 1-4 in Halifax and will be hosted by Dalhousie University.
