Ongaro, a sophomore striker, has jumped to second in the national points race after torching the Lethbridge Pronghorns and Saskatchewan Huskies this past weekend in Edmonton. Ongaro recorded six points in two Golden Bears wins, highlighted by a three-goal, four-point explosion against Saskatchewan on Sunday. Ongaro paced the Alberta attack on Saturday, netting a pair of goals to lift the Golden Bears to a 3-0 win over the Lethbridge Pronghorns. He followed that up with his first hat trick of the season in the second half against the Huskies, while also assisting on Ajeej Sarkaria’s game-winner.
Dargis, a distance runner with the Martlets cross country team, led McGill to a first-place finish of five teams at the Sherbrooke Open on Saturday. The management senior finished atop the podium in the 57-runner field. She completed the six-kilometre race in 22 minutes and 44 seconds, two seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.
