First-year standout badminton player Rachel Honderich earned both female MVP and rookie of the year honours in leading the Varsity Blues to their fourth OUA title in program history this past weekend in Hamilton.

A two-time medalist at the 2015 Pan American Games this past summer in Toronto, Honderich went undefeated over eight matches, winning four mixed doubles, three women’s doubles and one women’s singles match.

The Toronto native and kinesiology major was also named an OUA all-star for her efforts.
