ARAMARK UNBSJ ATHLETES OF THE WEEK FOR THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 16th

MALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK:  ALEC MACKINNON, BASKETBALL

This week’s Aramark Male Athlete of the week BA Student Alec MacKinnon.  The first year Pictou native is without a doubt one of the hardest working players for the Seawolves in a game or at practice.  Alec’s play on the weekend against CU and MSVU was strong as he held one of the highest shooting percentages from the field. “Having a player like Alec come off the bench allows us to have confidence when resting our starters because we know the game is still in good hands when he is on the floor” said Coach Steve LeBlanc. “He has been a great addition to the team and he will be a player to look out for as the years go on”.

FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: ERIN SPROUL, BASKETBALL

This week’s Aramark Female Athlete of the week is BN student Erin Sproul.  This is the Saint John native’s fourth year with the Seawolves as a guard.  Erin has continued to work hard on her game during practice and it has not gone unnoticed by the coaches.   Her shooting has continued to improve over the past three weeks averaging 11 points in this past weekend’s matches against CU and MSVU.  “We needed someone to step up due to an illness on the team and Erin was up for the task” explains Coach Kevin Munroe.  “Her defense was tenacious, she scored well in both games and she is demonstrating great leadership in her final year with the team”.
