KINGSTON, Ont. (January 13, 2020) – Julia Wiercigroch of women's volleyball and Quinton Gray of men's basketball have been named the Gabriel Pizza Queen's University Varsity Athletes of the Week for the period ending January 12, 2020.
 
Julia Wiercigroch of the women's volleyball team is the Queen's University Female Athlete of the Week. Wiercigroch and the Gaels picked up a pair of straight-set wins as they started 2020 off on the right foot extending their win streak to five straight.

In the Gaels 3-0 sweep at Trent, Wiercigroch finished with 11 kills, four digs and two service aces finishing with a 0.588 attack percentage. She followed that up with a strong defensive match against cross-town rivals RMC picking up 15 digs while adding nine kills and a block in the 3-0 victory.

With just three attack errors across the weekend, Wiercigroch was highly efficient all weekend for the Tricolour.
 
Quinton Gray of the men's basketball team is the Queen's University Male Athlete of the Week. 

Gray and the Gaels kicked off 2020 in style as they defeated Algoma 89-62 to pick up their fifth straight win of the season. Gray put up one of the best individual Queen's basketball performances in team history scoring 40 points while going 12-19 from the three-point line. Gray became the third Gael to hit the 40 point mark as he joined Greg Faulkner who had 40 points in 2014-15 and was three shy of the team single-game record of 43 set by Dave Smart in the 1993-94 season.

The Gaels improved to 8-4 on the season as they continue to keep pace in the tough OUA East division.
