Simon Fraser University junior Erin Chambers was named an honourable mention All-American by the Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association on Tuesday.
Chambers, a Great Northwest conference and NCAA Division II West region first team all-star, posted her best season to date in 2013/14, leading the conference in scoring averaging a record 23.1 points per game – sixth-best in the NCAA.
“I really had a new role this year, being looked at to be a leader on the team and a scorer,” said Chambers in a Clan press release. “I was expected to step up, and I think I was comfortable enough in that role.”
Chambers led SFU in scoring in 24 of the team’s 30 games this season. She also helped lead the Clan to a second straight appearance past the second round at the NCAA nationals.
The Clan finished runner-up in the Great Northwest conference regular season for the second consecutive year.
Chambers broke seven conference records as a junior this season, including 220 field goals and 692 total points scored in a single season.
“(Erin) can score in many different ways, and her consistency this year was crucial,” said SFU head coach Bruce Langford in the release.“
