With less than four minutes to play and the Stingers trailing by three points, Tyrrell made a 42-yard reception that gave Concordia a first down on Sherbrooke’s three-yard line. The Stingers scored on the next play, taking a 20-16 lead. They held on to win the game.
He was also named RSEQ Player of the Week on Offence.
Tyrrell leads the conference in receptions and yards. He has 48 catches for 704 yards in seven games.
