ATHLETES OF THE WEEK:

This week’s Bishop's Gaiters Athlete of the Week is Anna Bertrand from the Polar Bears women's hockey team.

Bertrand (Almonte, Ont.) scored a hat trick on Friday night as the Bears downed the Sherbrooke Junior A's. The fourth-year education student's three goals led the Polar Bears to the 8-2 victory.

HONOUR ROLL:

Stephanie Burnett (Women's Soccer) - Gaiters' player of the game on Friday night.
Maryse Richard (Women's Hockey) - Goaltender stopped five breakaways in Friday night's game.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL (13-11, 13-9 CIS, 10-6 QUBL - 2nd)
Gaiters off last week, "Drive for Five" begins Wednesday

Women's Basketball had a bye for the final week of the QUBL regular season. The Gaiters' Drive for Five beings tomorrow night, as the Gaiters host the third-seeded UQAM Citadins (19-8, 9-7 QUBL) in a semifinal game. Tipoff at the Mitchell Gym is set for 7 p.m.

#4 Concordia (8-19, 5-11 QUBL) will play #1 Laval (17-10, 11-5 QUBL) in the other league semifinal, also set for Wednesday. The QUBL Championship is set for Saturday, February 28, at the home of the highest-seeded finalist.

WOMEN’S INDOOR SOCCER (0-5-1, 8th QUISL)
Gaiters fall at home to McGill

The Gaiters dropped their final home game of the season, a 7-1 loss last Friday night against the McGill Martlets. Christina DiCaprio's hat trick led the Martlets, who held a 3-0 halftime lead, while a Magalie Kolker brace and singles from Kyrin Dhaliwal and Claire Hooper rounded out the McGill scoring. Stephanie Burnett scored the Gaiters' only goal in the 77th minute.

UP NEXT: The Gaiters close out the regular season in St-Eustache on Saturday afternoon, as they visit the UQAM Citadins (1-5-0). Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY (9-7-1)
Polar Bears head into break with victory over local squad

The Polar Bears played one game last week, an 8-2 defeat of the Sherbrooke Junior A team. Anna Bertrand's hat trick led the Polar Bears in a game that was closer than the score would indicate. Katie Andrews and Erika Cook netted two goals each, with Chloe Duncan rounding out the Bishop's scoring. Maryse Richard picked up the win for the Bears.

UP NEXT: The Polar Bears are off until after the Reading Week break.
