X-Women hockey forward Lydia Schurman was named the StFX Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending March 8, 2020. Lydia, a fourth year Science student (fifth year eligibility) from Summerside, PEI was the leader on and off the ice for the X-Women as they won the AUS championship 2-0 over Saint Mary’s. In StFX’s 4-2 win in Game 1 in Halifax, Lydia assisted on the final goal, and in Game 2, she assisted on StFX’s first goal (shorthanded) that kickstarted a comeback for a 5-3 win after being down 2-0 in the game. She also assisted on the game winning goal, as her fore checking set-up the play. The AUS Defensive Player of the Year, Lydia was key throughout the series on the fore check, face-offs and special teams and is the heart of soul of the X-Women team who booked their ticket to the national championship.
