Records chase update (#7): Ifield one FG shy of CIS career mark
Photo credit David Moll
OTTAWA (CIS) – University of Calgary kicker Aaron Ifield plays the final regular game of his CIS football career on Saturday, and the Saskatoon native could make CIS history with a pair of field goals.
Ifield, who joined the Dinos in 2006, set a Canada West record last weekend when he went a perfect 4-for-4 to bring his career total to 69 field goals, one more than current Toronto Argonaut Jamie Boreham, who starred at three universities (UBC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) between 1996 and 2003.
Going into the Dinos’ conference finale, a home date with provincial rival Alberta on Saturday afternoon, Ifield sits one shy of CIS record-holder, former Western Ontario great Frank Jagas, who split the uprights 70 times from 1990 to 1994.
Ifield, who also ranks second in Canada West history and sixth at the national level in scoring with 326 career points, is enjoying his finest university season in 2010 with a personal-best 16 field goals and a CIS-leading 89.0 per cent success rate (16-of-18) in his first seven outings.
Not far behind Ifield on the CIS career field goal list is Laval’s Christopher Milo.
In his fourth campaign with the Rouge et Or, the Montreal native ranks fourth all-time with a Quebec-record 66 field goals and is the CIS active leader with 369 points, also a QUFL career mark and third on the CIS list.
Milo is also enjoying a very solid 2010 season. Going into Laval’s finale at Concordia on Saturday, he is second in the country in both field goals made (19) and percentage (86% / 19-of-22).
Other CIS players to keep an eye on this weekend as conference play comes to a close include:
McGill receiver Charles-Antoine Sinotte of Trois-Rivières, Que., already holds the CIS career record with 245 receptions and will try to reach the 250 mark in his final CIS game at Sherbrooke.
Going into a contest against StFX on Saturday, fifth-year Mount Allison receiver and returner Gary Ross of Windsor, Ont., ranks second on the CIS career list in receptions (202), fourth in punt return yards (1,932) and fifth in receiving yards (3,043), all AUS records.
Fifth-year Sherbrooke quarterback Jean-Philippe Shoiry of Montreal, who faces McGill on Saturday, currently sits eighth in CIS career passing yards (8,975) and 10th in both passing attempts (1,096) and completions (605).
Saint Mary’s returner Jahmeek Taylor of Mississauga, Ont., will have his eyes on the single-season CIS and AUS records for punt return yards on Saturday when the Huskies visit Acadia. The third-year junior has 714 yards in his first seven games this fall, only 63 shy of the AUS mark of 777 set by StFX’s Richard Karikari in 2002. Karikari’s total is the second best in CIS history, trailing only the 912 yards racked up a year ago by Wilfrid Laurier’s Dillon Heap.
