Softball

Last Tuesday, the SFU softball team split a doubleheader against UBC at Beedie Field, losing the first game 9–2 but coming back to win the second match 6–3. In both games, the team that initially held the lead eventually lost — in the first, SFU held a 3–0 lead before allowing UBC two innings with four runs each. Second baser Taylor Lundrigan led the Clan in runs with three split over the two games.

Lacrosse

On the road, SFU Lacrosse put up wins against conference rivals Washington State and Idaho before dropping a matchup against the non-conference University of Arizona Wildcats 14–5. Attacker Lyndon Knutilla and midfielder Sam Clare both achieved five-goal games, spread between the two victories.

Track and field

Seven Clan athletes will travel to Birmingham, AL March 13–14 to compete in the NCAA Division II track and field indoor championships, a new high for SFU. Five women and two men qualified: Lindsey Butterworth, Jennifer Johnson, Rebecca Bassett, Paige Nock, Chantel Desch, Oliver Jorgensen, and Travis Vugteveen.

Wrestling

SFU wrestler Sean Molle fell short of qualifying for the national championship at the NCAA Division II Super Regional tournament in Pueblo, CA on February 28. He ended up placing sixth — the top four wrestlers go to nationals. “It was a disappointing end to a mostly-disappointing season,” coach Justin Abdou told SFU Athletics, as the team had sent wrestlers to nationals in the prior two years but none this year.
