February 18, 2010 - Congratulations are in order for two of our Fusion Alumna:

Tess Edwards ('05) was named an OUA East Second Team All Star for the 2009-2010 season.  This is the second year in a row that Edwards was named an OUA East All Star.  It is also the second season running that the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees led the country in points scored per game by a setter (1.7).

Rebecca Crosier ('09) was named to the OUA East All-Rookie team.  Crosier had a great first season with the University of Toronto Varsity Blues, averaging 2.22 points and 2.26 digs per game.  The Blues were recently crowned OUA champions after a 3-0 victory over the McMaster Marauders.

Both athletes are also part of Canada's National Team program (Edwards/Indoor, Crosier/Beach).
