Tsang recently signed a letter of intent with Penn State University on an athletic scholarship.
Double helping
Burnaby’s Matt Grassi picked up assists in back-to-back wins for the Wheeling Nailers of the East Coast Hockey League this week.
The Michigan State University grad assisted for the third and fourth time this season in the Atlantic division-leading Nailers’ two consecutive wins over the Cincinatti Cyclones.
Near double
Lexie Der just missed recording a double-double with the Boise State University women’s basketball team.
Der, a St. Thomas More grad, scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds in BSU’s 74-61 loss to South Dakota in NCAA Division I play on Sunday.
Der, a redshirt sophomore forward, is currently second on the team in scoring and tied for first in rebounding.
Double digits
Fourth-year guard Rachael Sider scored 14 points to help the University of Toronto to its first win of the women’s basketball season.
First career point
New Westminster Secondary grad Ariana Sider, a redshirt Clan freshman guard, scored her first career basket with the Simon Fraser University women’s team in the team’s 72-68 victory over San Francisco State University last Sunday. Sider’s three-point bucket helped spark the Clan’s second-half comeback.
