Clan Ticker: SFU women snap WWU win streak
On Tuesday Oct. 30 the SFU women's volleyball team played their best match of the year against one of the strongest women's teams in the entire Northwest. The Western Washington Vikings were on a 20 game win streak before meeting SFU, and were ranked #18 in the NAIA. The Clan were unfazed. The SFU women defeated the Vikings in four games (30-25, 30-25, 15-30, 30-28). With the victory, SFU's season record improves to 15-14 as they prepare for the NAIA Independent Playoffs in Seattle this weekend. Leading the way for the Clan in the match was Heather Androsoff, a sophomore from Burnaby. Androsoff led all hitters with 21 kills while also adding 11 digs. Junior Erin Paul had a game high 23 digs for SFU, while Rachelle Thomas finished with 14 kills and six digs.
SFU cross-country had a strong showing at the B.C. Cross Country Championships in Vancouver on Saturday, Oct. 27. Three SFU athletes finished in the top five in the Junior Men's Division. Among them was sophomore Richard Mosley who captured his second straight B.C. Junior crown, finishing the 8 k.m. course in a time of 26:06. Mosley's exceptional finish qualifies him for the Canadian Junior Championships in Moncton, New Brunswick to be held at the beginning of December. Also qualifying for the nationals were Clan runners Graeme Wells and Cody Callon, who finished third and fifth respectively.
The SFU women's soccer team finished their regular season this past Monday in a hard fought 1-1 tie against Trinity Western University in Langley. The women's team finishes the season with a winning record of 8-5-1, and ranked #7 in the NAIA. Ahead of the women lie the playoffs, and the defense of their 2000 NAIA national championship crown. The battle begins on November 9-10 in Seattle as the women take on Seattle University in the hopes of earning a berth in the NAIA national championships.
The SFU football team fell back into the losers bracket two Saturdays ago, dropping a 36-7 decision to the Western Oregon Wolves in Monmouth, Oregon. With the loss the Clan dropped to 3-4 on the season going into their last home game of the year against Humboldt State at Swangard this past Saturday (after Peak press time). The Clan has two games left in their last season in the NAIA, as next year they move into the Canadian Inter-university Sport (CIS). Their promise to make good on leaving the NAIA with a bang hinges upon success in these games. Should they lose even one of them, they will finish the year with a losing record. However the Clan has shown flashes of brilliance this season, and a strong finish is not out of their reach.
