Nightingale and Richardson-McKinnon named Acadia athletes of the week
Owen Nightingale (football) and Hannah Richardson-McKinnon (women’s soccer) have been named Acadia athletes of the week for the period ending Sept. 21 following strong performances in AUS action.
Nightingale, a fourth-year business administration student from Ottawa, Ont., led the Axemen defence with two interceptions, a sack and three solo tackles.
Richardson-McKinnon, a first-year kinesiology student from Timberlea, N.S., anchored the back line in a 1-0 win and 0-0 draw. She was dominant in the air, steady in 1v1 situations and played a key role in securing back-to-back clean sheets.
The Acadia athletes of the week are presented by McDonald’s.
