Beth (Stroud) MacIntosh
was
an elite track star and a talented

Canadian Olympic trials.
Don Hollerhead
played football
from 1971-75 and was a first
team All-Conference All-Star for
four of those five years. He was
a record holder for career punt

He earned Rookie of the Year and Specialty Player of the
Year Award honours, and was named to the Best All-Time
Lancer Team as defensive back.
Dan Devin
played Lancer
basketball from 1973-78. He led
the team in scoring in his fourth

since he played guard. The
team went on to the Canadian
championships where Devin was
named Most Valuable Player. In his
final year, he was voted to the OUAA All-Star team.
Team captain

competed on the basketball court
from 1994-98. She was named
Most Valuable Player three of four
years. Risnita was selected as an
All-Canadian Player and Rookie

per game. Risnita, who led the OUA in rebounding for three
consecutive years, earned OUA West Division Rookie of
the Year honours in 1995 and was an OUA West Division
All Star from 1994-98. She was the Lancer MVP for three
consecutive years. She went on to coach at UWindsor, the
University of Victoria, and Ryerson University and was
manager of the Canadian Women’s Basketball Team at the
FISU Games in Turkey.
The
