MALE: Tom Bridger, Men's Rugby (Sciences / Second Year / Victoria, B.C.)
Tom Bridger returned from injury with a vengeance, scoring 22 of Western's 42 points in a dominant win over Waterloo on Friday, 42-15, to remain perfect at 5-0.
Bridger scored two tries and booted six converts for the 22-point day returning from an injury which sidelined him for the past two games - an injury suffered midway through a road win over Queen's in September.
The six-foot-three, 200-pound Mustang scored Western's first try by running the ball in from about 20 yards out to cap off some great passing. Western had caused a Waterloo turnover and quickly swung the ball down to the wing where Bridger caught the first defender flat-footed and sped around the second to get over the try-line.
He booted a convert to make it 7-3 just over 10 minutes in.
Bridger added a second try before the end of the half, adding two conversions and several great tackles.
The talented Mustang had 16 of Western's 21 first-half points. His convert on the third Western try proved to be the winning points.
One of his three second-half converts was from a near impossible angle.
