Leclerc-Auger, Dabrowski named McGill athletes of the week

By Earl Zukerman

MONTREAL – Marie-Andrée Leclerc-Auger of Sherbrooke and Montreal native Christian Dabrowski are the McGill University athletes of the week for the period ending March 15, 2009.

Leclerc-Auger, a 5-foot-5 forward on the women’s hockey team, scored four goals and assisted on two others as the No.1-ranked Martlets swept their playoff series from Ottawa in two games and captured the league championship with their 51st consecutive victory. A 21-year-old physical education freshman, Leclerc-Auger was voted rookie of the year in the Quebec league and is bidding to become the player to score 50 goals in a season. She currently leads the Martlets with 45 goals and 89 points in 39 games overall, heading into the CIS Nationals at Antigonish, N.S., later this week. Leclerc-Auger hit the 50-goal plateau with Collège de Saint-Jérôme last year.

Dabrowski, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound member of the men’s rowing team, won the 6,000-metre race at McGill’s indoor ergometer competition known as “pERGatory” last Sunday, with a clocking of 20 minutes, 26.1 seconds. The fifth-year biochemistry senior also guided his quartet to a tie for first-place in the 4x500m relay, which finished in a dead heat with an average split time of 1.29.0. Dabrowski joined the rowing team in 2004 after graduating from Dawson College.
