MONTREAL – ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ student Ann-Sophie Bettez of Sept-Iles, Que., and Sherbrooke track star Pierre Puyjalon have been named as the Quebec Student Sports Federation’s athletes of the week for the period ending Jan. 18, 2009.

It marks the fifth Quebec weekly conference selection of the season for ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ athletes, including the third such nomination for Bettez, who was also announced as the QSSF pick on Nov. 19, 2008 and Oct. 21, 2008. Other ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ picks include Martlet rearguard Cathy Chartrand (Jan. 6, 2009) and Redmen goaltender Danny Mireault (Nov. 18. 2008).

Bettez, a 5-foot-4, sophomore forward with the women’s hockey team, scored five goals and added four assists as ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ swept both their games over Concordia and Carleton last weekend.

In Saturday’s 10-0 road victory at Concordia, the 21-year-old management major, tied single-game school records with seven points and five goals. She also broke the team’s single-season record and tied the Quebec university record for most goals scored.

Bettez, who was the CIS rookie of the year last season, leads the Quebec league in scoring with an impressive 16-20-36 record in just 10 games. A product of Dawson College, Bettez currently ranks second in the CIS national scoring race, five points back of the leader who has played in seven more games.
