The rookie hit five of six field goal attempts in Manitoba’s seven-overtime victory over the Alberta Golden Bears last Saturday. He pushed the game into extra time by kicking a 36-yard field goal on the final play of the fourth quarter. Mikoluff also had five converts and a single to finish the day with 21 points.
The national nod marks Mikoluff’s second of the season. The Beausejour product was also honoured by U Sports last month following a perfect performance in his first university start.
