MONTREAL - Francis Verreault-Paul of Mashteuiatsh, Que., and Jordanna Peroff of Keswick, Ont., are the McGill University athletes of the week, sponsored by Ye Olde Orchard Pub, for the period ending Nov. 27, 2011.
Verreault-Paul, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound forward with the hockey Redmen, scored four points in road victories over Nipissing and Ryerson last weekend. The 24-year-old psychology senior scored three goals, including the game-winner with 11 seconds remaining, in a 4-3 decision over the Rams on Sunday as the No.2-ranked Redmen improved to 12-1-2. Verreault-Paul also assisted on the winning tally in a 4-1 conquest at Nipissing, Saturday. He is currently third in the CIS goal-scoring race with 11 in his last six contests. Prior to enrolling at McGill, he attended College de Chicoutimi while playing junior hockey with the Chicoutimi Sagueneens.
Peroff, a 5-foot-6 forward with the women's hockey team, scored five points in two games as McGill swept a pair of games over Ottawa and Concordia last weekend. The 22-yeqar-old religious studied and leadership senior netted her first career hat-trick and assisted on two other goals in a 6-5 victory at Concordia, Sunday. She attended Keswick high school before enrolling at McGill in 2007.
Both athletes will receive a gift certificate from Ye Olde Orchard Pub.
