Brittany Hince Siwicki - The 2014/15 UBC Thunderbird season wrapped up with a first round playoff tournament in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The team competed well but did not get the outcome they hoped for. Brittany recorded 3 homeruns on the season. The varsity softball program's future at UBC is uncertain after the controversial Athletics review and therefore no program is guaranteed for next season. As such Brittany played her last game as a Thunderbird and has returned home where she will attend the University of Manitoba pursuing her major in Environmental Design and continue to play with the Smitty's Terminators. She truly enjoyed her seasons with the Thunderbirds, the friends and the fond memories. Brittany will continue to promote the sport of softball and shares her developmental skills with players by coordinating and actively participating as a Clinician for various clinics/camps on behalf of Softball Manitoba.
