LANGLEY, B.C. – Trinity Western winger Tamilore Awonusi (Dublin, Ireland) is this week's Spartan Male Athlete of the Week after an impressive Coastal Cup performance against Victoria.
 
Awonusi got after it early, earning his first Coastal Cup try in the first 15 minutes of the match to put the Spartans up 10-5 over Victoria.
 
TWU's chances at a win were put in jeopardy after UVIC proceeded to score the next 28 points, putting the Spartans down 33-10.
 
Though the game had been turned on its head, Awonusi and the Spartans answered back with two tries and a penalty to narrow the margin, ending the game at 33-25 in favour of the Vikes.
 
Awonusi's two tries were enough to join TWU centre Guiseppe du Toit (Maple Ridge, B.C.) at the top of the Spartans leaderboard for tries scored in Coastal Cup play.
