Student-athletes are nominated by their respective athletic departments.

In 10 plate appearances during a doubleheader against the Durham Lords on Sept. 7, Logan Buntrock of the Lambton Lions reached base nine times, including six hits and three walks. The third-year outfielder went 6-for-7 with a double, driving in three runs while scoring four times. Buntrock also stole five bases, ending the weekend as the OCAA leader. Buntrock also leads the league with a .857 batting average, a .900 on-base percentage and has a slugging percentage of 1.000. Lambton swept Durham 7-0 and 10-4 to jump out to an early 2-0 record.

Jasmine Seager

In Jasmine Seager's OCAA debut on Sept. 6, the utility player stepped up with three hits and three RBIs to help lead the Fanshawe Falcons to an 8-6 win over the Mohawk Mountaineers in the opening game of a doubleheader. In Game 2, Seager's dominance continued with three more hits and two more RBIs, including a seventh inning walk-off game-winning hit with the bases loaded, lifting the Falcons to an 8-7 triumph. Seager finished the doubleheader with six hits and five RBIs, scoring once. Fanshawe is one of three OCAA teams to begin the season undefeated.

Monica Sousa
School: Lakehead Orillia
Program: Criminology
Year of Eligibility: 1
Sport: Soccer
Hometown: Whitby, Ont.
As a first-year student athlete in a first-time OCAA program, Monica Sousa started the season off strong for the Lakehead Orillia Thunderwolves. In Lakehead's first-ever OCAA regular season match at Cambrian on Sept. 5, the striker scored the lone goal as the Thunderwolves edged the Shield for a first-ever victory. Two days later, Sousa followed this effort with a two-goal performance to lead the Thunderwolves to a comeback tie against the Loyalist Lancers on home turf. Sousa is among the league leaders with three goals to begin the campaign.

Joshua Vivero
School: Cambrian
Program: Emergency Services Communication
Year of Eligibility: 3
Sport: Soccer
Hometown: Toronto, Ont.
Joshua Vivero had an excellent birthday on Sept. 5, netting three goals while assisting on another in a 7-1 victory for the Cambrian Shield over the Lakehead Orillia Thunderwolves. The third-year striker opened the scoring at the five-minute mark, then after the Thunderwolves recorded the equalizer, scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal in the 21st minute. Vivero added one more to end the scoring in the second half, no doubt kicking off a post-match celebration. Vivero scored seven goals last season, and is on pace to surpass this mark.
