Bethany So was named both the OUA female rookie of the year and the most valuable player in leading the Varsity Blues to a silver-medal finish at the 2012 OUA badminton championship this past weekend (March 16-18).
 
The Toronto native handily won the women’s singles competition, going 5-0 and capping it all off with a dominant 21-7, 21-14 win over Western’s Fong Cho.  Cho was the only opponent to reach double digits versus So in singles action.
 
So, a first-year Kinesiology major, then paired up with teammate Jewel Ho to take the women’s doubles title.  The duo went 7-0 and defeated Waterloo’s Carrie Law and Stephanie Yeung 21-11, 21-17 en route to the title.
 
So was also named an OUA all-star for her stellar performance this weekend.
