Simon Fraser’s Clan boasts three NCAA Players of the Week

The Clan, Simon Fraser University’s athletic department, is fitting in nicely in their debut year in NCAA Div. 2 Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

Jessica Smith (North Vancouver) was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Women’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week after her win at the Western Washington Preview in Bellingham. Fellow BC-born Clan members, Bo Palmer (North Vancouver) and Joseph Martin (Surrey) also received top honours, taking the title of Offensive Player of the Week and Soccer Player of the Week respectively for the Great Northwest Athlete Conference.

SFU was the first non-US member accepted into the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) when they were approved in July 2010.
