Brooke Rempel (Ariss, Ont.) of the women's rugby team and
Luke Bagshaw (Sunderland, Ont.) of the men's rugby team have been named the Brock University Athletes of the Week for the period ending Sunday, Sept. 28.
Rempel scored a try and had six broken tackles against the McMaster Marauders, leading the Badgers to a convincing 59-20 victory on Sunday. The third-year Kinesiology major was awarded Player of the Match for her efforts with 10 tackles as well as a number of offloads which helped set up tries for her teammates. Rempel has put together quite the campaign thus far as she leads the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) conference in scoring among props and is also among the leaders in the country in props in tries as well.
Heading into Saturday's Senior Game matchup, Bagshaw was third in the OUA in total points. The Teacher Education major was celebrated in the men's Senior Game at Alumni Field where he scored 23 points, bringing him to 50 on the season. Bagshaw, a fifth-year fly-half had a very strong defensive performance as well with multiple cover tackles and high ball receptions en route to a 38-7 victory over the Toronto Varsity Blues.
