Men’s Basketball

The men’s basketball team returned to their winning ways Thursday night, putting up a 103–87 victory over Saint Martin’ University. This marks the Clan’s sixth Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) win, double their previous record. Guard Justin Cole once again led SFU in points with 23.

Softball

Softball split the Desert Stinger held in Las Vegas from February 13–15, to improve to a 7–5 record — surpassing last season, where they had only four wins. “I am really pleased to be returning home with a winning record,” head coach Mike Renney told SFU Athletics. “This team is a more battle-tested group than last year’s team, and although we are still young, it’s a competitive and driven bunch.”

Wrestling

SFU’s Abby Lloyd won silver at the Women’s College Wrestling Association Nationals held in St. Louis, MO on Saturday, February 14, while three other wrestlers — Bailey Halvorson, Darby Huckle, and Payten Smith — achieved bronze medals. As a team, SFU finished fourth. The Clan won the national championship in 2013.

UBC or SFU?

On February 17, the UBC Thunderbirds Twitter account announced that Spencer Moore, a linebacker from St. Thomas More Collegiate, who had initially signed a letter of intent with SFU football, has instead committed to UBC. Last week, recruiting coordinator Bryan Wyllie told The Peak that Moore was the most college-ready prospect of the then-four signings.

Track and Field

SFU’s track and field team competed at the University of Washington (UW) Husky Classic and the UW Open from February 13-15. Clan senior Jennifer Johnson moved to first in the GNAC and third in NCAA Division II competition by shaving eight seconds off her previous best time for the 3000 m race.

Clan Gathering

SFU Athletics announced February 16 that TSN commentator and SFU alumnus Farhan Lalji will be the MC for the Gathering of the Clan breakfast to be held on Tuesday, March 3. The event, which will also feature Steve Nash as a speaker, costs $200 per seat, and aims to raise money for athletic scholarships at SFU.

Calls emerge for increased program funding for BC sex workers

News Peak Web -
By: Niveja Assalaarachchi, News Writer On December 16, 2025, 10 organizations — including sex worker-led groups, feminist organizations, and First Nations groups — released a statement marking the International Day to End Violence against Sex Workers. In their statement, the groups called for the provincial government to increase funding for programs serving BC sex workers.  The push comes amid a crisis in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where centres serving unhoused women, those who face gender-based violence, and support for substance use are closing. In July, the PACE Society, a drop-in centre in the area, permanently closed down. In February, the WISH Drop-In Centre closed temporarily. Most recently, The Tyee reported that the Kingsway Community Station, Vancouver’s last drop-in centre for sex workers, was on the brink of...
