An exceptional athlete, a Soccer All-Conference Team selection and team MVP, Melissa Bahr, Windsor NS, was named Female Athlete of the Year at Dal鈥檚 Agricultural Campus last Friday night, March 22, 2013.

Chris Ross, Harmony, NS, a two sport All Conference Selection, an All-Canadian and a two-time Academic All-Canadian joined her as Male Athlete of the Year.

鈥淐hris Ross and Melissa Bahri are very deserving recipients of these top awards,鈥� said Director of Athletic Services Judy Smith. 鈥淭hey are exceptional athletes and also show tremendous leadership skills on and off the field of play.鈥�

Melissa is described by her coach as the type of athlete who does not play to receive awards or compliments. She plays for the joy of competition and the feeling of camaraderie that comes from playing well and playing hard in a team sport. No matter what position she is asked to play, Melissa plays with passion! She has demonstrated leadership on and off the field and led by example with a loud voice encouraging, prodding, complimenting and laughing in practice and in games. She understands that sport is fun when it is played with intensity and like life, what you get out of it is proportionate to what you put in; that winning is great--- but a team is more than just the final score.

Chris Ross is fiercely competitive and internally motivated. Chris supports his teammates and pushes them to play hard while knowing when they need a laugh to feel better. He is continually trying to improve his skills as a player while helping his teammates do the same. Chris is an excellent student, a leader and an exceptional athlete. He represents his team, his university and himself well at all times.
