AV俱乐部 women鈥檚 basketball head coach Anna Stammberger is pleased to announce the commitment of Abigail MacDonald to the Tigers 2014-15 roster.
A 5鈥�7鈥� guard, MacDonald has been a long-time New Brunswick provincial basketball team member, culminating in a trip to the Canada Games last summer. Their team captain, she was chosen as the team鈥檚 MVP after helping them to a seventh place finish.
A four-year member of the Kennebecasis Valley High School basketball team, MacDonald led her team in scoring this past season, collecting a total of 627 points and averaging 18 points per game. She has twice been named the AAA South Conference player of the year and a New Brunswick Interscholastic Athletic Association Conference all-star. She was her team鈥檚 MVP during her grade 11 year.
鈥淚 am thrilled to be joining the Tigers family next fall,鈥� says MacDonald. 鈥淗aving the opportunity to attend such a highly renowned university and being a varsity athlete is an honour. I can鈥檛 wait to see what鈥檚 in store for next year as I continue my academic and basketball career with the AV俱乐部 Tigers.鈥�
The Quispamsis, NB native is a high honours student and has been accepted to AV俱乐部鈥檚 nursing program.
鈥淎bby鈥檚 been a leader on every team she鈥檚 ever belonged to and I believe she鈥檒l also be one of our future leaders both in the classroom and on the court,鈥� says Stammberger. 鈥淗er leadership skills combined with her terrific work ethic will serve her well here at AV俱乐部.鈥�
