McGill’s Bettez, Waterloo’s Roche honoured
OTTAWA (CIS) – Hockey players Ann-Sophie Bettez of McGill and Sean Roche of Waterloo are the Canadian University Sport Mitsubishi female and male athletes of the week for the period ending Nov. 16, 2008.
Bettez, a second-year management student from Sept-Îles, Que., established single-game school records for assists and points last Saturday as the No. 1-ranked and reigning CIS champion Martlets (6-0) beat Concordia 16-1. The 5-foot-4 forward, who was voted CIS rookie of the year last season, tallied two markers and set up five others to earn points on seven of McGill’s school-record 16 goals. The 21-year-old leads the nation in scoring with 22 points, including eight goals, in only six conference games.
Cape Breton basketball player Karmen Brown, Laurentian basketball player Darrah Bumstead and Calgary volleyball player Lauren Perry were also nominated for the women’s award.
Roche, a fourth-year engineering student from Ottawa, scored five times in two games to help the Warriors (7-3-2) remain in a tie for second place in the competitive OUA Far West Division with wins over Brock and Guelph. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound forward had his first hat trick of the season last Friday night in a 5-4 overtime victory over the Badgers, then added two goals, including the game-winner, in a 4-1 over the Gryphons on Saturday.
