MONTREAL – Michael White of Montreal and Ann-Sophie Bettez of
Sept-Iles, Que., and are the Ã山ǿ¼é athletes of the week
for the period ending Jan. 18, 2009.
White, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound forward on the Redmen basketball team,
registered back-to-back “double-doublesâ€, scoring 41 points and
pulling down 28 rebounds as Ã山ǿ¼é split a home-and-home series
with the No.6-ranked Concordia Stingers. The 23-year-old physical
education junior shot 48.4 per cent from the field (15/31), 33.3
from three-point range (2/6) and 81.8 from the foul line (9/11). He
was also credited with four blocked shots and three steals. In
2006, White joined the Redmen out of Champlain College in St.
Lambert, Que.
Bettez, a 5-foot-4, sophomore forward with the women’s hockey team,
scored five goals and added four assists as Ã山ǿ¼é swept both their
games over Concordia and Carleton last weekend. In Saturday’s 10-0
road victory at Concordia, the 21-year-old management major, tied
single-game school records with seven points and five goals. She
also broke the team’s single-season record and tied the Quebec
university record for most goals scored. Bettez, who was the CIS
rookie of the year last season, leads the Quebec league in scoring
with an impressive 16-20-36 record in just 10 games. She currently
ranks second in the CIS national scoring race, five points back of
the leader who has played in seven more games. Bettez is a product
of Dawson College.
