MUSCLE MLK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Quinn van Gylswyk, a third-year arts student from Victoria, B.C., was the CIS football special teams player of the week, and the Canada West’s choice on special teams for the fourth straight week, thanks to his four field goals in as many attempts in the Vanier Cup, including the game-winning kick from 20 yards out as time expired.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound junior, who also averaged 41.2 yards per punt and 56.7 per kickoff on the afternoon, had split the uprights from 45, 33 and 43 yards out earlier in the contest as UBC built an early 13-0 advantage in the opening quarter and led 16-10 at halftime.

After making 20 of 24 field goal attempts during the eight-game regular season, van Gylswyk went a remarkable 17-of-19 in four playoff outings, his only misses coming on 44 and 50-yard tries.
