Wall of Distinction: Class of 2019 to be inducted Saturday at Bishop’s

LENNOXVILLE, Que. – Skier Kim Hubner (Bonnell), golfer Alison Murdoch and soccer player Erin Patrick will be inducted into the Bishop's University Wall of Distinction on Saturday.  The ceremony is part of the Gaiters Celebration of Women in Sport.
 
Kim Hubner (Bonnell)
Hubner was one of the most decorated skiers to compete for Bishop's. She was a three-time Bishop's University Female Athlete of the Year. During her time at Bishop's she went to the World University Games twice: In 1997, she represented Canada in South Korea; and in 1999, she donned the red and white in Slovakia. Additionally, she spent many years competing among the world's best at high level Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) events, including the NorAm circuit.
 
For three straight seasons, 1997-98-99, she topped the Quebec University individual women's ski standings. That helped Bishop's win titles both on the women's side and combined in 1998 & 1999.
 
Alison Murdoch
Murdoch's career as an amateur golfer began in Quebec where she won the Quebec Junior Girls Championship in 1967 as well as numerous regional championships. Her national success came to fruition in 2002 when she won her first of four Canadian Senior Women's Championships. Since that time, she has won internationally, capturing the British and Irish Senior events, two Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA) Senior and Mid-Amateur Championships as well as the British Columbia, Alberta and Washington State senior titles.
 
She was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame in 2013.
 
Erin Patrick
Patrick is one of the best female soccer players ever to play at Bishop's.  She was a two-time CIS 2nd-team all-Canadian and a four-time FQSE all-star. At Bishop's she was Female Athlete of the Year twice and the Female Newcomer of the Year in 1999.  She was also a three-time women's soccer team MVP.
