Lacrosse

SFU Lacrosse will open their season at home on the Terry Fox Field on Sunday, February 8 at 2 p.m. The team is coming off a year where they went undefeated in their division — the Pacific Northwest Collegiate Lacrosse League (PCNLL) — and won the PCNLL championship. Though they lost to the Colorado State Rams in the first round of the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) national championship, they appear once again posed for success with key contributors returning including team goal scoring leader Tyler Kirkby — who ranked seventh in the whole MCLA with 65 goals.

Wrestling

Last week, the men’s wrestling team competed in two tournaments. The first — the Boxer Open — was held Sunday in Forrest Grove, OR, and resulted in a Clan victory, with Josh Kim claiming first in the 184 lb weight class. Then, on Wednesday, the team team traveled to Oregon, City, OR to compete in the Clackamas Open, where both Kim and redshirt freshman Ben Smyth achieved a fourth place finish in their respective weight classes.

Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps announced Friday morning that they have hired Clan men’s soccer head coach Alan Koch to coach the Whitecaps FC 2 — their newly formed USL Pro affiliate, which will serve to develop young Whitecaps talent. “[Leaving SFU] was not an easy decision,” Alan Koch said in an SFU Athletics press release. “But I’ve always wanted to coach in the professional game, and to do that without having to relocate is an opportunity I could not pass up.”

Opinions Peak Web -
By: Maya Barillas Mohan, Staff Writer You may have heard of StudyTok. It’s a niche community with guides on creating effective flashcards, instructions for prettier handwriting, and all-nighter study marathon timelapses. University life has long been romanticized online. Education is largely a path to a better future, but inspirational study content can turn TikTok into a theatre for classism and self-hate.  These videos are revered for their aesthetic, though they tend to centre social privilege under the guise of elite work ethics. The neatly staged videos suggest an irrefutable correlation between discipline and rewarding outcomes. Instead of encouraging peers, StudyTok becomes another place for the privileged to flaunt and attribute their success to themselves entirely. TikTok has multiple other toxic “sides” focused on the embellishment of...
