The 2009
Student-Athlete and Community Service Award recipient is
Elizabeth Mooney of the Saint Mary's Huskies.
Mooney is in her fifth year at Saint Mary's and
plans to go on and do graduate studies. She balances two jobs, school,
volunteering and rugby. Her volunteer work includes helping with a women's
shelter in the North End of Halifax.
"Liz is always there for a teammate and willing to
do whatever is asked or needed of her," says head coach Dawn MacDonald. " She is
a true player, a great role-model and a valuable member of the community."
