HAMILTON, Ont. – The following student-athletes have been named OUA Football Players of the Week for the period ending October 28, 2012.
OFFENCE: Matt Uren, Western Mustangs, Receiver
Matt Uren, a second-year receiver from London, Ontario, caught four touchdown passes in Saturday’s 56-35 win over the Windsor Lancers in the OUA quarter-finals.

DEFENCE: Derek Wiggan, Queen's Gaels, Lineman
Derek Wiggan led a Gaels defence that completely stifled the Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday in the OUA quarter-final. The Toronto native made 4.5 tackles, three for losses as the Gaels held Laurier to only 179 total yards and completely shut the Golden Hawks off the scoreboard. The third-year lineman led the Gaels with two sacks in the 34-0 win.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Chris Patrician, Queen's Gaels, Punt returner
Chris Patrician (Toronto) ran a punt back 94 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter of the No. 6-ranked Gaels’ 34-0 win over Laurier on Saturday.
