Men’s Basketball:

The men’s basketball team will be in Oregon this week to take on Concordia University on February 13 at 8:30 p.m., and Western Oregon University on February 15 at 2 p.m.

Hockey:

Having now played their final home games of the 2019–20 British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League regular season, the SFU Hockey team will head to Castlegar, BC to take on the Selkirk Saints on February 14–15. Puck drop for both games is 7 p.m.

Track and Field:

The SFU Track team will be in Boston this week to take on Boston University on February 14 and 15.

Men’s Wrestling: 

A trip to Forest Grove, Oregon to take on Pacific University on February 16 is the team’s only action this week.
