Women’s Basketball

On Thursday night, the women’s basketball team suffered their lowest scoring game this season in a 68–45 loss to the Western Oregon Wolves on the road. Despite dominance on the three-point line at home, the Clan went an abysmal six for 29 shooting three-pointers. However, Erin Chambers still made progress towards the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) scoring record, notching 19 points — the only player to hit double digits on the scoresheet for SFU. She now is only 30 points behind the GNAC record with 1801 points and four games to go.

Softball

Softball cruises to a 4–2 record with a sweep of Brigham Young University-Hawaii last Tuesday, winning the two matches 9–1 and 10–6. The sweep provided SFU its fourth straight win, after dropping the opening two matches — remarkable for a team that only had four wins over their entire last season.

Swimming

The women’s swim team defeated the University of Victoria (UVic) 143–113 on February 8. Senior sprinter Nicole Cossey led the Clan to victory with three individual wins of her own. In all, SFU won nine out of the 15 races. The men’s team, however, fell to UVic 139–100.

Hockey

SFU Hockey split the first weekend of February, winning in a shootout against Castlegar Friday night but falling to the Eastern Washington Eagles 5–2 the next night. Scoring was an issue for the Clan, as they only managed three goals in two games.

Lacrosse

SFU Lacrosse won a tight match against the Dominican Penguins, ending 17–16. Attacker Lyndon Knutilla scored the game-winning goal in double overtime. Knutilla led the team in scoring with six goals.

Football

According to Sportsnet’s James Dunk, SFU wide receivers Lemar Durant and Bobby Pospischil will be attending the NFL Regional Combine in Denver, CO on Saturday, February 21. The combine will give them a chance to be invited to the NFL Super Regionals held on March 21 at the Arizona Cardinals Training Facility, where they will be evaluated by NFL scouts.

Football Coaches

The football head coach race is down to three candidates: Jeff Reinebold, special teams coordinator at the Hamilton Tiger Cats (CFL); Joel Penner, offensive coordinator at Malone University (NCAA Division II); and Glen Fowles, head coach at Williamette College (NCAA Division III).

As of July 24, evacuation orders have been issued for multiple communities in the interior, including a fire in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, which is quickly expanding. “89 blazes” are estimated to be active across the province.  In addition to the destruction of homes and forestry, these fires bring health risks due to smoke. Exposure to wildfire smoke can result in headaches, chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and more. The BCMJ reports that “physical impacts of climate change and environmental disasters are exacerbated by underlying health determinants such as poor housing, overcrowding, and geographic proximity to areas more prone to wildfires.”  They...
