Sanoh scored three goals in four games and was named to the tournament all-star team. Earlier in the week he was named the CCAA men’s soccer player of the year, which was the first time a Hurricanes student-athlete had ever received this award in any sport.
Sanoh also was named a CCAA all-Canadian for the fourth time while being named the Atlantic conference’s player of the year and a member of the all-conference team to cap off a big fall for the star striker.
Sanoh, who finished his Hurricanes career with team-record 101 goals, is studying in the marketing and advertising management program.
