Stephanie Snyder (Waterloo, Ont.) was awarded the Marsden Trophy as female athlete of the year after a stellar season as a member of the Warrior field hockey team. 

In her rookie season, Snyder made an immediate impact helping the Warriors win the OUA bronze medal with a 2-1 win over Western.  She continued to impress in her sophomore year but it was in 2013 when Snyder began to emerge as one of the top players in the country. 

Waterloo was up against the Toronto Varsity Blues in the 2013 OUA semifinal match and the black and gold had gone 0-for-2 against Toronto their two previous meetings that season, losing by a combined score of 12-0.  On top of that, the Warriors had not beaten the Varsity Blues in 10 years but Snyder stepped up scoring both goals as Waterloo upset the Blues 2-0 to advance to the OUA championship game and to Nationals in Victoria.  It's no surprise she was named an OUA all-star that season.

Snyder continued her strong play in 2014 scoring 9 of Waterloo's 13 goals while being named an OUA all-star for the second straight year and also received the highest honour with national recognition earning a spot as a CIS all-Canadian.  This sparked the interest of the National Field Hockey program and she now trains with team Canada out west.
