McGill University Athletics

MONTREAL – Simon Bibeau of St. Bruno, Que., and Cassandra Fafalios of Richmond Hill, Ont., are the McGill University athletes of the week, sponsored by Ye Olde Orchard Pub & Grill, for the period ending Aug. 25, 2013.

Bibeau, a 6-foot-2, 183-pound guard with the men's basketball team, scored 34 points in three games against NCAA Div. 1 opponents last week and sunk a buzzer-beating three-pointer as McGill rallied to knock off Siena College 74-72 on Sunday. Over the three contests, the 23-year-old investment senior shot 38.7 percent from the floor (12/31), 35.0 from three-point range (7/20) and made three of five free-throws. He also pulled down seven rebounds to go along with a dozen assists and four steals. Bibeau is a product of St. Mary's Catholic high school.

Fafalios, a 5-foot-7 rookie goalkeeper with the women's soccer team, posted a 0.00 goals-against average, saving all six shots faced over parts of four non-conference games – a 180-minute span – last week. The 17-year-old arts freshman enrolled at McGill this month out of Cardinal Carter Catholic high school.
Both athletes will receive a gift certificate from Ye Olde Orchard Pub.
