EDMONTON - After backstopping the University of Calgary Dinos to their first-ever CIS women's hockey championship, Amanda Tapp was named the Canada West female athlete of the week Tuesday.

Calgary native Amanda Tapp gave up just three goals in three games and was named CIS championship tournament MVP as the University of Calgary Dinos captured their first-ever CIS women's hockey title last weekend at Clare Drake Arena in Edmonton.
 
After out-dueling legendary netminder Charline Labonté in Calgary's 1-0 shutout of defending champion McGill Thursday night, Tapp was solid in a 4-2 win over Alberta to close pool play. In Sunday's final against sixth-seeded Montreal, she made 27 saves – including a couple of the spectacular variety – as the Dinos cruised to a 5-1 win and raised the Golden Path trophy in just their third year back in CIS following a seven-year hiatus.
 
Through a magical playoff run for the Dinos, Tapp was sensational, allowing just five goals in seven games and going nearly 180 minutes without surrendering a goal. She finished the CIS tournament with a 1.00 GAA, a .953 save percentage, and a shutout to earn all-star and MVP honours at the event.
