History
Tigers assistant coach Savannah Newton, who played at the NCAA level with the Boston University Terriers, was among 18 former student-athletes selected for the 2021 U SPORTS Female Apprentice Coach Program.[2] In celebration of International Women’s Day, involving apprentice coaches (former student-athletes) with a mentor head coach, the purpose of the program is geared towards increasing the number of women in coaching positions across Canadian universities.
