WINDSOR, Ont. -- Anneth Him-Lazarenko, a third-year ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ from ±«ÓãÖ±²¥, earned all-Canadian honours at the CIS women's basketball championship awards gala, Thursday.

It marks the 14th time in school history that a member of the Martlets merited all-Canadian status and the first time in 14 years that a ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ player has made the first team. Hall of Famer Vicky Tessier, in 1996-97, was the last ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ player to achieve that feat.

Him-Lazarenko, a 5-foot-10 ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ from Laval, Que., was voted player of the year in the Quebec University Basketball League and earned all-conference honours. She captured the league scoring title with a 15.6 points per game average and was second among rebounders at 8.6 per game. A 23-year-old education junior, who is majoring in secondary social sciences, she also registered the top field-goal shooting percentage (.541), making 99 of 183 attempts.

Saskatchewan dominated the individual awards ceremony held at the St. Clair Centre for the Arts.

Guard Katie Miyazaki of Richmond, B.C., was named the CIS defensive player of the year for the second straight season. Team captain Jill Humbert of Saskatoon received the Sylvia Sweeney Award, recognizing excellence in basketball, academics and community involvement. Lisa Thomaidis claimed the Peter Ennis Award as coach of the year for the second time in three campaigns.

Jessica Clemençon, a sophomore ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ from the University of Windsor, was named CIS player of the year. The native of Saint-Rambert, France, became the first-ever Lancer to claim the Nan Copp Award, a year after being the first Windsor player to be selected rookie of the year.

Also honoured during the All-Canadian Banquet were UNB guard Claire Colborne of Calgary, who captured the Kathy Shields Award as rookie of the year, as well as Memorial's Brittany Dalton of Harbour Main, Nfld., who received the Tracy MacLeod Award recognizing determination and perseverance.
