Dykstra is best women's basketball in Canada, while Forsbauer completes comeback year

The awards for Kayla Dykstra and Vanessa Forstbauer just seem to keep on coming. Last night at the 2009 CIS Banquet Awards dinner, Dykstra and Forstbauer received national recognition for their outstanding seasons. Dykstra claimed the CIS Player of the Year award, to go along with her Canada West Player of the Year honours. The six-foot-two post was in a league of her own this season, leading the conference in field-goal percentage, scoring and rebounding. The Horn has dedicated probably 10000 words on Dykstra's sensational season and there really isn't anything more to say.

Other than this.

She is the best womens college basketball player in the country. Period.




The return to basketball for Forstbauer was officially complete on Thursday, as Vanessa captured the National Comeback Player of the Year award. Vanessa returned to the Vikes lineup this season after missing all of the 2007-08 season due to a complication in her heart. She is the first Vikes player to ever win this award
