GOLDEN HAWKS RYAN LYNCH NAMED CIS OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
OTTAWA (CIS) – Wilfrid Laurier running back Ryan Lynch, Saskatchewan defensive back Jordy Burrows and Manitoba kicker Scott Dixon are the first Canadian Interuniversity Sport football players of the week for the 2007 season.
Lynch, a fourth-year economics student from Waterloo, Ont. tallied 190 rushing yards and one touchdown on 24 carries on Labour Day Monday to lead the No. 7 Golden Hawks to a 36-26 season-opening win over nationally-ranked McMaster. The five-foot-nine, 205-pound back scored on a seven-yard run late in the second quarter to give Laurier a 12-9 halftime lead.
Calgary running back Anthony Woodson was also up for the offensive honour.
Burrows, a third-year commerce student from Edmonton, returned an interception on 32 yards for a touchdown and added three solo tackles as the reigning Canada West champion, No. 2-ranked Huskies dominated Alberta 45-14 in their 2007 debut. The six-foot-two, 193-pound defensive back picked up where he left off last fall, when he was named a second team all-Canadian.
Queen’s linebacker Thaine Carter was also nominated on the defensive side of the ball.
Dixon, a first-year student from Victoria and a former junior standout with the Vancouver Island Raiders, had a dream afternoon on Saturday in his Canada West debut connecting on six of seven field goal attempts to lead the No. 4 Bisons to a 36-13 victory over Regina. Dixon became the ninth player in CIS history and the third Canada West player to kick six field goals in a game, stopping one short of the conference record set by Saskatchewan’s Matt Kellett against Alberta on Nov. 2, 1996.
Windsor kicker Kevin Reider was also considered.
