FEMALE: Danielle Boiago, McMaster Marauders, Basketball
A first-year guard from Hamilton, Danielle Boiago played like a seasoned veteran and led the McMaster women’s basketball team to a pair of playoff victories.
In the OUA West quarter-finals, Boiago was McMaster’s leading scorer in an 81-51 victory over Guelph. She dropped 17 points on the Gryphons, making 6 of 10 field goal attempts, including an outstanding 5 of 7 from beyond the three-point arc.
Moving on to the OUA West semifinal versus Brock, Boiago picked up right where she left off against Guelph and powered the Marauders to a 73-67 win over the Badgers. The Hamilton St. Thomas More grad scored a game-high 30 points, shooting 11 of 19 from the floor and making 6 of 12 three-point shots. With 30 seconds left in the game, Boiago drained a long three-pointer to give Mac a 4-point lead at 71-67, making it a two-possession game and then hit two late free throws to clinch the victory after Brock twice failed to score. In the two playoff wins, Boiago shot a blistering 58.6 % from the floor and made 58% of her three-point attempts, while averaging 23.5 points per game.
MALE: Zack Chetrat, Toronto Varsity Blues, Swimming
Fourth-year veteran Zack Chetrat won three medals and came up with some big swims in leading the Varsity Blues to their first CIS title since 1994 this past weekend (Feb. 21-23) at Calgary Aquatic Centre.
After claiming the 100 butterfly silver medal on Day 1, the Oakville, Ont., native earned the Grand Slam award after winning his fourth-career 200 butterfly title (1:55.59) and capped off Day 2 by anchoring Toronto’s 4x200 freestyle relay team to a second-place finish (7:18.33). Chetrat was named the male swimmer of the day for his efforts Friday.
An economics and political science major, Chetrat came up with a huge fourth-place finish in the men’s 1500 freestyle on Day 3 to cushion U of T’s lead heading into the final race of the night. He then helped the Blues to a fifth-place finish in the 4x100 medley relay, earning enough points to bring the Nelson C. Hart Trophy back to Toronto.
Toronto is the first non-Canada West team to win the title in the past 18 years and claimed their CIS-leading 17th national banner in program history.
