KINGSTON, Ont. (February 20, 2012) – Queen's Athletics & Recreation is pleased to announce that men's volleyball player
Joren Zeeman of Cambridge, Ont., and women's basketball player
Brittany Moore of Hannon, Ont., have been named TELUS Athletes of the Week for the week ending February 19.
Zeeman was dominant in the Gaels comeback victory over the Guelph Gryphons on Saturday as he led the team's charge back from two sets down to take the victory in five sets. Zeeman led all attackers in the game with 29.5 points which included a game high 22 kills. Zeeman was efficient attacking from his side as he had a hitting percentage of .286 to lead all Gaels outside hitters. He chipped in elsewhere as well on Saturday, adding seven digs on defence as well as five service aces. The Gaels now head to the OUA Final Four in London where Zeeman will look to keep his strong play going.
Moore wrapped up her final regular season as a Gael by making more history in her final season as she scored double digit points in back to back games against York and Laurentian to wrap up second place on the OUA's all-time scoring leaderboard. On Friday, she shot 50% against the York Lions and led all Gaels scorers with 16 points as the Gaels topped the Lions by 20 points. On Saturday, Moore chipped in another 10 points to help the Gaels top the Laurentian Lady Vees in a 64-58 win on the road. In addition to being the OUA's number two all-time scorer, Moore is the all-time leader in Queen's basketball history between both the men's and women's programs.
