The 23-year-old international relations and law student scored both of the Citadins’ goals, including the only marker in a 1-1 road draw with the Bishop’s Gaiters and the game-winning goal against the then fourth-ranked Laval Rouge et Or (1-0) on Sunday as UQAM picked up four of possible six points on the weekend.

The 24-year-old Victoria native was also named Canada West Player of the Week for the second time this season.
