Kennedy also appeared in six AUS playoff games over four seasons, scoring one goal, and helped lead the Axewomen to an AUS Championship and U SPORTS Nationals berth in 2021.
She will be studying a Master of Business Administration at Saint Mary’s, after graduating with Bachelor of Business Administration from Acadia.
“I’m excited to use my fifth year of eligibility to play soccer at Saint Mary’s because it gives me the opportunity to continue competing at a high level while pursuing my goals both on and off the field,” said Kennedy.
“SMU’s strong soccer program and supportive community feel like the perfect place to grow as a player and as a person.
