Ackerman, Pike named athletes of the week
OSHAWA, Ont. – Shalena Ackerman (Pickering, Ont.) and Justine Pike (Whitby, Ont.) have been named the Durham College student-athletes of the week presented by Boston Pizza North Oshawa for the period ending Sept. 20.
Ackerman scored her first goal as a Lord in the 30th minute of the women’s soccer game at Centennial College on Saturday. Her tally was the game-winning goal in the 2-0 victory for Durham. The result from the weekend improves the Lords’ record to 2-0-1, two points back of second place St. Lawrence – Kingston in the OCAA east division.
This weekend they are home on Saturday against Cambrian Golden Shield. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Vaso’s Field. Tuesday they are on the road at Loyalist.
Pike, a second-year protection and security student, helped the women’s softball team in their sweep of the Seneca Sting on Friday night at Durham Field. Besides calling and catching a great game behind the plate, she was 2-for-5 at the plate in the doubleheader with three runs and one RBI.
The women’s softball team continues their home stand this week with doubleheaders against the Mohawk Mountaineers on Tuesday and Humber Hawks on Thursday. The opening games get underway at 6 p.m. at Durham Field on both nights.
