Zack Stringer (Lethbridge, Alta.) of the men's hockey team and Tatum O'Connor (Dundas, Ont.) of the women's swimming team have been named the Brock University Athletes of the Week for the period ending Sunday, Nov. 23. 

During a road trip weekend, the Badgers claimed a 6-2 victory against the Waterloo Warriors on Friday, Nov. 21 and a 3-2 overtime win over the York Lions on Saturday, Nov. 22. In the first game, Stringer came out on fire, scoring just 16 seconds into the contest to give Brock a 1-0 lead. Just over 11 minutes later, the second-year forward potted his second goal of the period to double up the advantage. He would later add an assist to cap off his three-point-night in a 6-2 victory. On Saturday, the Badgers carried over momentum against the Lions, with Stringer scoring the go-ahead-goal on the power play to put Brock up 2-1. The Labour Studies major was the eventual overtime hero, burying the game-winning goal just 21 seconds into the extra frame to cap off a five-point-weekend with four goals and one assist.

O'Connor competed at the Merrily Stratten Divisional Championship on Saturday and Sunday, taking home four medals (two gold, two bronze) at the event. The third-year swimmer earned the fastest time of all 50-metre backstroke swimmers, finishing in 28 seconds and 30 milliseconds. In the 100m backstroke, the Social Sciences major shined once again, completing the race in 1:01.062 to claim her second gold medal of the weekend. O'Connor competed alongside teammates Grace Chai, Quinn Mersereau and Cassidy Karrel in the 200m freestyle relay, with the four capturing a bronze for Brock with a school record time of 1:42.72. O'Connor did not stop after three medals, claiming bronze in the 200m medley relay with Chai, Karrel and Adriana Martone, finishing with a time of 1:54.65. O'Connor helped the Badgers earn a fourth-place result at the championship, narrowly missing out on a podium finish as they earned 591 points, just shy of the third-place McMaster Marauders who finished with 596.
