Kole has consistently improved and helped the women's basketball team succeed this year. Her minutes per game have steadily increased to averaging over 30 for the month of January. Along with more court time, Kole has been rock solid on defense, often guarding the opponents stronger players. She is reliable on the court which is demonstrated with the best assist to turnover ratio on the team. Kole also has hit some really big shots this month, none less important than a big 3 pointer with the shot clock running down in an overtime win against Lethbridge College. Kole is currently in her first year in the Psychology program at Ambrose, and is a high achieving student that excels in the classroom. 

During this month, Josh has been able to take the lead and stand out when the team needed it the most. He showed great capacity to lead the group, bring all his experience and great all-around volleyball skills to the court. He excelled in passing, serving and attacking. He also helped to keep calm and focus during games. Josh has been a key member on the team as we worked to get back on track in this second semester, and to be ready for the playoffs. Now in his senior year, Josh is truly foundational in being part of the team's pursuit for excellence. We will be sad to see him go when he graduates, but happy to have had him with us!
