Gregoire, Lessard – Athletes of the Week

Richelle Gregoire of the women’s basketball team and Yanic Lessard of the football team are the Concordia Stingers athletes of the week for the period ending Oct. 25.

Gregoire, a fourth-year forward, was exceptional in two preseason games versus Ontario opponents on the weekend. In an 85-61 victory over the Waterloo Warriors last Friday, she scored 25 points and hauled in 14 rebounds. The following night versus the Nipissing Lakers she had her second double-double of the weekend. This time she scored 25 points and had 12 rebounds in a 94-60 victory.

A 24-year-old native of Ste. Therese, Que., Gregoire is a Sociology student at Concordia.

Lessard, a rookie wide receiver, caught nine passes for 144 yards and a touchdown to help the Concordia Stingers defeat the McGill Redmen 43-41 on Saturday afternoon. The touchdown was his eighth of the season which is the highest number by any receiver in the RSEQ and ranks him fifth in the CIS. His work in securing the Concordia victory was critical as the Stingers needed to win to earn a playoff spot. He was the RSEQ Offensive Player of the Week.

The 20-year-old student from Ste. Julie, Que. is working on a degree in Economics.
