She had a OUA-leading 19.0 points per game, leading the Lancers to their first national title. Hinz, who hails from Ottawa, was in his second season with Carleton. He led the Ravens in points per game (17.0) and rebounds per game(6.0) during the regular season as Carleton went undefeated at the end of conference play (22-0). Hinz was named CIS player of the year during the playoffs and received the Jack Donohue Trophy as tournament MVP after the Ravens beat Trinity Western to claim their seventh CIS banner in nine years. It marked the first time in history that two basketball players won the BLG Award in the same year.
