The fifth-year kicker from Halifax was perfect on Saturday afternoon, connecting on all four field goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts, as his X-Men defeated the Mount Allison Mounties 34-7. In the second quarter, Hadley re-wrote the X-Men history book by booting a 55-yard field goal to set a new school record. He also added field goals of 18, 31 and 37 yards in the victory.
