Lethbridge, AB – The SUBWAY Pronghorn Athletes of the Week for the week ending November 25, 2012.
Female Athlete of the Week:
Sarah Spence – Women’s Hockey
After losing a close contest the previous night, rookie forward Sarah Spence led the Pronghorn women’s hockey team to a weekend series split, registering three points in the ‘Horns 4-3 overtime win Saturday night over the visiting Saskatchewan Huskies.
With the ‘Horns down 3-2 in the third period, Spence scored an unassisted goal just before the halfway mark of the third period to force overtime but she would not be done there.
A mere 44 seconds into the extra frame, Spence banged home a loose puck in the crease to give the ‘Horns a much need win. She also assisted on the ‘Horns second marker and registered five shots on goal.
Her three point game vaulted her to the top of rookie scoring in Canada West, where she sits with five goals and five assists in 14 games.
