Athletes of the Week | Taylor & Robertson

A pair of Lancer Athletes have been named Freshii Athletes of the Week after stellar individual performances that led to team victories over the past week. 

Second-year Lancer Chelsea Taylor scored a career-high performance in Wednesday's 79-71 win over the Centennial Colts.

With 25 points, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 assists, Taylor, who hails from Ottawa, ON, led her team at both ends of the court with passion, aggression, and unbeatable hustle. On top of her incredible stats, her contributions on defense were astounding. A mid-sized player at 5'8", Taylor is continuously matched up against some of the biggest players on the opposing teams and defends like she's the tallest person in the gym. She's a fierce competitor, tough, and not afraid to put her body on the line. Her passion is contagious and was a major factor in her team's victory.

From the women's volleyball team, third-year player Erika Robertson had an impressive defensive showing in her team's 3-0 win over the George Brown Huskies on Saturday at home. Robertson, a 5'6" libero from Uxbridge, ON, held down the back row with great passing on both defense and serve receive. As a team veteran and co-captain, Robertson's leadership, level head, and continuous drive for self-improvement have been huge pieces of the Lancers' success this season. Her strong voice coupled with her speed & passing abilities allowed the Lancers to run a fast, dynamic offense that kept the Huskies a step behind.
