Madalyn Weinert (St. Catharines, ON) of the women’s basketball team and Devin Cooney (Kanata, ON) of the men’s volleyball team been named the Brock University Athletes of the Week for the period ending Sunday, Feb 2.
Weinert continues to make her case for a second consecutive Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Player of the Year award. On Friday, Jan. 31, the fourth-year Medical Sciences major delivered her first triple-double of the season in the 77-53 victory, putting up 18 points while adding season highs in rebounds (17) and assists (10). The next night on Saturday, Feb. 1, Weinert scored 27 points and collected 14 rebounds in the commanding 75-41 win. Over the weekend, she added four blocks and five steals, showing her versatility on both ends of the floor. She now has 12 double-doubles on the season and her 21.0 points per game puts her first in the province and second in the country. In addition, the fourth-year guard/forward also ranks second in the OUA and fourth in U SPORTS in rebounds per game with 11.6. This marks the second time she has won Athlete of the Week honours this season.
Cooney, a third-year outside hitter, helped the Badgers to a spilt with the Trent Excalibur over the weekend as they look to keep their playoff dreams alive. In the 3-1 loss to the Excalibur on Friday, Jan. 31, he notched a match-high 20 points off 17 kills and three service aces. Avenging their defeat from the night prior, Brock completed a three-set sweep and Cooney was a big reason why. Putting up a match-high 15.5 points along with teammate Nanle Yusuf, Cooney delivered timely kills late in each set to help propel the Badgers to the win, which included the final point of a very tight 25-23 first set. On the season, he has earned double-digit kills in 13 of the 16 matches he has played. Currently, the Business Communication student sits first in the province and fifth in the country in points per set with 4.6 and kills per set with 3.95. Cooney previously earned Athlete of the Week recognition on Nov. 18, 2024 after a 34-kill performance against the Guelph Gryphons.
