BlackBerry CIS athletes of the week (#24): Windsor’s Langlois, UNB’s Bailey honoured

OTTAWA (CIS) – Windsor basketball player Miah-Marie Langlois and New Brunswick hockey player Kyle Bailey are the BlackBerry Canadian Interuniversity Sport female and male athletes of the week for the period ending March 20, 2011.
 
Langlois, a second-year business-economics student from Windsor, Ont., was named tournament MVP at the CIS women’s hoops championship after she helped the top-ranked and tournament host Lancers capture the first Bronze Baby Trophy in program history. The 5-foot-8 guard scored in double digits in all three Windsor games as the reigning three-time OUA champs defeated No. 8 Laval 80-50 in the opening round, No. 4 Cape Breton 56-47 in the semifinals, and No. 2 Saskatchewan 63-49 in the national final. Langlois was selected game MVP in the victory over Cape Breton after recording 13 points and five assists.
 
Fellow basketball players Kari Everett of Cape Breton and Jana Spindler of Saskatchewan were also nominated for the women’s award.
 
Bailey, a fourth-year BBA student from Ponoka, Alta., scored the championship-winning goal in overtime as the No. 1-ranked Varsity Reds edged StFX 5-4 in the fifth and decisive game of the AUS final, last Friday in Fredericton. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound team captain, who had an assist earlier in the week in a 2-0 Game 3 victory, came up big in the most important contest of the AUS season with a goal and a helper in the third period, followed by his game-winner after 3:48 of extra time. Bailey and the V-Reds play host to the CIS University Cup starting on Thursday, at the Aitken Centre in Fredericton.
