Fifth-year women’s basketball star Kaitlyn McKenna and men’s basketball guard, Jimmy Bilenga are Niagara College’s athlete of the week for Jan. 17 to Jan. 23.

McKenna scored 23 points in the Knight’s 59-34 victory over the Algoma University Thunderbirds on Jan. 21 and is only 20 points shy of fourth on the Ontario College Athletic Association all-time points list. With six regular season games remaining in her collegiate career, if she averages 22.17 points per game she will reach 1,000 career points

Bilenga put up 10 points in a 91-82 loss to the Algoma University Thunderbirds on Friday night but bounced back with a game-high 22 points on Saturday afternoon in an 85-56 victory over the Sault College Tigers.

Home games for both squads take place Tuesday, Feb. 1 against the Fanshawe College Falcons.
