His first score came on the first play of the second quarter, a six-yard run to make the score 21-14 for Ottawa. He tied the game five-and-a-half minutes later when he exploded through the line and up the sideline for an 85-yard touchdown, and he added his third early in the fourth on an eight-yard rush to cap a 12-play, 107-yard drive that gave the Lions a 40-28 lead. In total, he contributed over 200 yards of offence, adding 25 receiving yards to his rushing total, and he also helped on special teams with two tackles. Exume was also named OUA offensive football player of the week for his performance.
FEMALE: Julia Francki, Soccer, University of Ottawa
Julia Francki (Orleans, Ont.) showed her scoring touch this past week by opening the scoring in Ottawa's 3-0 victory over the No. 1 ranked Queen's Gaels. She then padded the Gee-Gees lead by scoring the second goal of the game on a long-range shot. In addition to her offensive contributions, the second-year midfielder was steady and aggressive while defending against a talented Queen's attack. Francki is in a four-way tie for first place in OUA women's soccer scoring standings.
