SFU women’s hoops killing it at the big dance

Pucked in the Head is happy to welcome SFU correspondent Jenessa Gladstone to the fold, as she files her first story here on the website. She’s worked extensively up on the Hill, both in her studies and with the Athletics Department, and now here she is a fully-fledged member of the PITH clan.

The Simon Fraser Clan women’s basketball team are making the most of their inaugural season in the NCAA. They finished with a 23-5 overall record, including a 12-0 perfect record on home court, good for second place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and a berth in the 64-team Division II NCAA tournament. Check out the interactive bracket here.

In their first taste of big tournament action, SFU defeated the number seven seeded Northwest Nazarene Crusaders (20-5) by a score of 68-57. They move on to face the number six Grand Canyon ‘Lopes, who upset the number three seed UC San Diego in their opening round matchup. Tipoff goes at noon Pacific time on Monday, March 18.
