Gage Grassick picked up the Nan Copp trophy after a season for the ages.

SASKATOON — University of Saskatchewan (USask) Huskies women’s basketball standout Gage Grassick became the second student-athlete in program history to be honoured as the nation’s top player.

Grassick took home the Nan Copp Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player of the Year on Wednesday night (March 12) at the U SPORTS All-Canadian СÀ¶ÊÓƵ. The fourth-year point guard from Prince Albert posted one of the best statistical performances in Canada West history, as she led the country in assists per game (6.0), three-point field goals (58) and three-point field goal percentage (41.4 percent). The pharmacy major also finished 10th in the country in scoring with 18.4 points per game.  

The epitome of a student-athlete, Grassick has taken her game to a new level, leading the country in assists per game as she builds on her remarkable resume after earning accolades as an All-Canadian athlete and an Academic-All Canadian student last season while leading the Huskies all the way to the national championship game.
