Men’s Golf

Last week, the men’s golf team were named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference team of the week for their first place finish at the Cal Baptist Invitational on March 24. The men’s golf team have one more tournament — the Western New Mexico Invitational held in Goodyear, AZ this week — before participating in the GNAC Championship.

Wrestling

Sophomore Clan wrestler Mallory Velte placed third at the 63 kg weight class at the 2015 ASICS Women’s University Nationals held in Oklahoma City, OK on Saturday, March 28. Freshman Francesca Giorgio placed sixth in the 60 kg class.

Hockey

SFU Hockey announced last Wednesday that they have signed defenceman Darnel St. Pierre in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL). The Kelowna native had 13 goals and 44 points in 48 games last season. “Darnel is a much-needed addition to the back end of our hockey team,” head coach Mark Coletta said in a press release. St. Pierre is the second announced recruit, joining fellow KIJHL defenceman Robson Cramer.
