MUNSON 4th year named Atlantic University Sport MVP

Memorial School of Nursing fourth-year student Jessie Noseworthy and members of the women's soccer Sea~Hawks were well-represented on the list of 2016 Atlantic University Sport (AUS) soccer all-stars and major award winners recently announced.

Ms. Noseworthy was named the AUS most valuable player.

Other AUS major award winners announced were Memorial's Nicole Torraville of St. John's, N.L., who was named the rookie of the year and Memorial Sea-Hawks head coach Mike Power, who was selected as the coach of the year for the first time in his career.

The AUS also named the first and second team all-stars. Hannah Rivkin was selected as a First Team All-Star, while Jane Pope and Keisha Younge were named Second Team All-Stars.

Ms. Noseworthy led the Atlantic conference and tied for first in the nation in goals, with a total of 14 and has accumulated 35 career regular season goals.

She was also named an AUS first team all-star Thursday for the third consecutive year. In her freshman year she was named a second team AUS all-star.

In 2014, Noseworthy was named a CIS (now U Sports) second team all-Canadian.

Acknowledged for her commitment both on and off the field, she was also awarded both the AUS and CIS student-athlete community service awards last season.

"Having already been established as an outstanding performer in the AUS, it was really impressive to watch Jessie take her game to new heights in 2016," said Sea-Hawks head coach Mike Power. "She has worked very hard to add more dimensions and versatility to her game, while continuing to bring great maturity and leadership to our program. Being named the MVP in such a talent-rich league is another tremendous achievement in Jessie's varsity career."

Noseworthy is just the second player from a Sea-Hawks squad to be named the conference's most valuable player, and the first since former Memorial standout Laura Breen earned the honour in 2008.
