Delorey and Munro named Acadia athletes of the week

Sarah Delorey of the women’s basketball team and Kyle Munro of the men’s basketball team have been named the Acadia Athletes of the Week for the period ending January 26.

Delorey, a fourth-year kinesiology student from Elmsdale, had two standout performances in the Axewomen’s weekend series against UPEI. On Friday, she scored 17 points and grabbed six rebounds in a 76-58 loss. She followed up with an 18-point, 11-rebound double-double on Saturday, helping the Axewomen secure a thrilling 80-79 victory. Delorey was highly efficient, shooting 63% from the field over the two games.

Munro, a third-year business administration student from Timberlea, excelled in the Axemen’s matchups with UPEI. In Saturday’s 80-70 win, he recorded 16 points and eight assists to lead the team to victory. On Friday, Munro contributed nine points, nine assists, five steals, and nine rebounds in a 68-60 loss. His strong two-way play was a key factor for the Axemen throughout the weekend.

Both basketball teams head to Dalhousie on Wednesday night before returning home to host Cape Breton on Friday night.
