LIZ SILCOTT (ATHLETE)

Originally from Montreal, QC, Liz Silcott remains one of the most dominant Canadian women’s university basketball players ever. After leading the University of British Columbia to a 43-3 record, including back-to-back CWIAU National Championships and Canada West Championships in 1973 and 1974, Silcott transferred to the Loyola of Montreal for the 1975 season, where she would be named a QUAA First Team All-Star after the team captured the conference championship and finished fifth in the national finals. Silcott took her winning ways to Concordia the following season, where she would lead the league in scoring. Her Stingers compiled a perfect 16-0 record in the QUAA regular season and was again recognized as a conference all-star. In her final collegiate season with the University of Waterloo, Silcott was named a CIS First Team All-Canadian for the first time in her storied career. In 2020, she was named one of U SPORTS Top 100 Women’s Basketball Players of the Century.
