BURLINGTON, Ont. - The following athletes have been named Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Athletes of the Week for the period ending October 13th, 2015.
  
FEMALE: Nadia Larocca (Mississauga, Ont.) – 3^rd yr. – Queen's Gaels – Hockey
 
To say that Queen's Gaels forward Nadia Larocca (Mississauga, Ont.) almost single handedly beat the Brock Badgers and York Lions this past weekend wouldn't be too far from the truth.

On Friday night, with the game tied 0-0 late in the third period, the third-year religious and political studies student-athlete scored two goals in the final 1:14 to help the Gaels escape with a 2-0 victory.

The Mississauga, Ont. native followed that up on Saturday by scoring the eventual game-winner on a highlight reel two-on-one to seal the victory 2-1 for Queen's.

Larocca appears poised to have a breakout season as she currently leads OUA in goals (3) and game winning goals (2).

The Gaels return to action on Friday when they head out on the road to Toronto, Ont. to take on the University of Toronto Varsity Blues.  Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 pm at Varsity Arena.

MALE: Joey Cicchillo (North York, Ont.) – 4^th yr – York Lions – Soccer
