Waterloo's Cecile, Mahler and Ottawa's Falvo are OUA football players of the week
HAMILTON, Ont. – The following student-athletes have been named OUA Football Players of the Week for the period ending October 21, 2012.
OFFENCE: Paul Cecile, Waterloo Warriors, Receiver
Paul Cecile (Azilda, Ont.) led the way in Waterloo’s second half offensive outburst in their 48-29 win over Windsor on Saturday. The second-year wide receiver had three touchdown receptions and pulled in a total of eight catches for 246 yards, including a 60-yard catch and run for the major early in the second half that ignited the Warrior bench.
DEFENCE: Christian Mahler, Waterloo Warriors, Defensive back
Christian Mahler (Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.) saved the best for last. The second-year defensive back stepped up his game to intercept the ball three times for 98 yards in Waterloo's 48-29 win over the Windsor Lancers. Mahler also collected two solo tackles in what was a dominating performance by the Waterloo defence. The recreation and business student has a total of seven interceptions on the season which tops the leader board in both the OUA and CIS.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Matthew Falvo, Ottawa Gee-Gees, Kicker
Matthew Falvo had a memorable final game, setting two new OUA records in Saturday’s 32-29 loss to Western. The Welland, Ont. native made good on all five of his field goal opportunities on the day, establishing the new OUA career record for field goals at 75. It was the second five field goal game of Falvo’s illustrious career. Falvo’s OUA field goal record is good for second in the CIS record books. He is also tied for fourth all-time in CIS scoring.
In the midst of kicking those record setting field goals, Falvo unloaded a punt from deep in Gee-Gee territory which found open field, took a bounce, and made it 98 yards before a Mustang player was able to reel it in. That set another OUA record as the longest punt, breaking a 27 year old record. However, he was two yards short of the 26 year old CIS record.
