Boudreau and Helmig named Acadia athletes of the week

Marc Boudreau (men’s hockey) and Bianca Helmig (women’s basketball) have been named Acadia athletes of the week for the period ending Nov. 23 following standout performances in AUS competition.

Boudreau, a second-year business administration student from Toronto, Ont., recorded five points in each of Acadia’s two wins last week. He scored the game-winning goal and added two assists in Wednesday’s home victory over Dalhousie, then scored again and collected two more assists in Saturday’s road win at St. F. X. Boudreau finished the week a team-leading +6.

Helmig, a fourth-year business administration student from Speyer, Germany, delivered strong performances in back-to-back wins. She posted 19 points, three rebounds, six assists and two steals while shooting 60 per cent in Friday’s 83–43 win over Cape Breton. She followed with 22 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and a steal in Saturday’s road victory over Saint Mary’s.
