Mak and Caldaroni earn UOIT athlete of the week honours

OSHAWA, Ont. – Monica Mak and Matt Caldaroni have been named the UOIT Athletes of the Week presented by Boston Pizza.

Caldaroni had a week to remember as he recorded two shutouts for the Ridgebacks men’s soccer team. The Pickering native stopped four shots on target in each of his appearances as the Ridgebacks beat Laurier 2-0 and tied McMaster 0-0. Not many teams have been able to stop the Marauder offence this year as they came into the game averaging almost three goals per contest and as the top scoring team in the OUA western conference.
 
Mak, a third year life science major and coxie with the varsity rowing team led the Ridgebacks women’s eight crew to a silver medal at the Head of the Welland Five Bridges Classic. The crew finished the course with a time of 20:54.07, two minutes faster than a season ago. The crew along with Mak was made up of Christie Attwood, Gillian Beckette, Angela Dares, Allison Demaiter, Meaghan Jones, Sheila King, Allison Ng and Kelsey Sargent.

Athletes of the week will receive a free pizza courtesy of the Boston Pizza – North Oshawa location. For more information on Boston Pizza, please visit their official website at www.bostonpizza.com http://www.bostonpizza.com.
