LaCava, Bettez named McGill athletes of the week
MONTREAL – Lucas LaCava of Weston, Conn., and Ann-Sophie Bettez
of Sept-Iles, Que., are the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ athletes of the week
for the period ending Nov. 9, 2008.
LaCava, a 5-foot-10, 160-pound attacker on the men’s lacrosse team,
scored nine points, including seven goals in two games last week,
leading the Redmen to a silver medal at the Canadian University
Field Lacrosse Association national championship tournament in
Hamilton. The 20-year-old management junior was named as McGill’s
player of the game in both contests. LaCava netted a hat-trick with
a pair of assists in Saturday’s semifinal, a 13-9 upset over
top-seeded Brock, then added four markers in the gold medal game, a
14-9 loss to Guelph. He enrolled at McGill in 2006 out of
Lawrenceville School in New Jersey.
Bettez, a 21-year-old management sophomore with the women’s hockey
team, tallied four points in McGill’s 6-1 victory at Carleton last
Saturday. The 5-foot-4 forward scored once and earned assists
on each of the first three goals. Bettez, who was voted CIS rookie
of the year last season, currently leads the Quebec league scoring
race with 6-9-15 in five games. She joined the Martlets out of
Dawson College last year.
