Adeoye and Girard named Acadia athletes of the week

Toni Adeoye (men’s soccer) and Abby Girard (women’s soccer) have been named Acadia athletes of the week for the period ending Aug. 31 following strong performances in the opening weekend of AUS action.

Adeoye, a fourth-year biology student from Dartmouth, N.S., scored three goals in two games, including the game-winner against Mount Allison. He is tied for first in AUS scoring and ranks second in U SPORTS at the conclusion of the weekend.

Girard, a fourth-year business administration student from Dartmouth, N.S., played a full 90 minutes in both matches while contributing in multiple positions. Her experience and work ethic stood out as she won key tackles and generated energy in Acadia’s attack. Her consistency and adaptability were pivotal to the Axewomen’s performances.
