PLAYER OF WEEK
SFU women's basketball forward Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference co-player of the week.
Raincock-Ekunwe had 52 points and 26 rebounds in two games last weekend. The third-year junior scored 37 points, equaling the sixth-highest single game total in conference history, in an 81-67 loss to Northwest Nazarene last Saturday. It was the highest single-game total since Sheena Brown of AlaskaFairbanks scored 44 points against Central Washington in 2009.
In final game, Raincock-Ekunwe shot 62.9 per cent from the floor, while converting on 16 of 23 against Northwest Nazarene, equaling the single-game record for most field goals by Leada Berkey of Western Oregon in 2008.
