OSHAWA, Ont. – After being named Ontario Tech student-athlete of the week, Fadi Salback (Bowmanville, Ont.) of the men's soccer team has been named the OUA male athlete of the week.
 
Salback, a first-year forward and software engineering major, had a successful weekend offensively for the Ridgebacks. He scored the game-winning goal in both matches, including the only goal in the opening half of Saturday's 3-0 victory over the RMC Paladins. On Sunday at home he scored three times in a 4-0 win over the Queen's Gaels, becoming the first Ontario Tech player with a hat trick since Fabio Campoli on Oct. 16, 2016. His goal total for the 2019 season is now at nine, good enough for second overall in OUA scoring.
 
This weekend the men's soccer team continues their home stand against the Nipissing Lakers and Laurentian Voyageurs. They sit fourth in the OUA east heading into their final four matches. Their season will end at home on Sunday, Oct. 20 against the Toronto Varsity Blues.
 
The OUA female athlete of the week was presented to Khadi Dako of the Toronto Varsity Blues rugby team.
