SHELBY EVELEIGH SELECTED FOR CCAA ALL-CANADIAN TEAM
CAPTAIN OF THE LADY BASKETBALL CHEETAHS HONOURED AT BANQUET
March 17, 2011

Vanier College Athletics is pleased to announce that Shelby Eveleigh (left) has been given the honour of being named to the CCAA All-Canadian team for 2010-2011. She is a guard in her third year with the AAA Women's Basketball Cheetahs. Although Shelby is a point guard, she is averaging 9.8 pts per game, shooting 49% from the floor and 71% from the line.

She was a first team RSEQ all-star for this year 2010-11. She was also player of the game in the win over Humber College at the Seneca Classic Tournament.

The team finished 2nd in the RSEQ league with a record of 18-2, losing only to Montmorency the #1 ranked team nationally. They also won all of our exhibition games against CCAA opponents (9 games) as well as the Seneca College tournament. They were consistently ranked in the top 10 all year with a 3rd place ranking since their Seneca College tournament win.

Shelby is the only team captain this season and has demonstrated tremendous leadership both on and off the court. She is also a great student with an average of 89% in the Fall of 2010. Congratulations, Shelby!

Our men’s AAA team are at the CCAA National Championships at Durham College in Oshawa, Ontario. Their first game was on Thursday, March 17th and they played against NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) ranked second in the entire country. They ended up stunning NAIT with an incredibly stirring 75-73 upset victory. The Vanier Player of the game was Ben Millaud. Once the time and opponents for their next match are determined, we'll post the info.
