The Simon Fraser University men's soccer team had six players named to the NCAA Division II West Region team on Tuesday.

Carlo Basso, the Great Northwest conference coplayer of the year, was the only Clan forward named to the All-West region first team.

Midfielder Josh Bennett, defenders Max Baessato and Matt Besuschko and goalkeeper Sheldon Steenhuis rounded out SFU's five-player contribution to the regional first team.

SFU defender Anthony DiNicolo was an All-West second team selection. DiNicolo was earlier named to the conference all-academic team.

CLAN BELOW .500

Simon Fraser University fell below .500 for the first time this season following a 84-83 loss to the Academy of Arts Urban Knights in men's basketball on Dec. 11.

Matt Ravio was the leading scorer with 19 points and five rebounds and Jordan Sergent got his first double-double of the year, but it was the shot the Clan didn't get that will be most remembered.

Down by six points in the final half-minute of play, Connor Lewis nailed a three-point shot to shave the deficit to three points.

But the Knights made the Clan pay, knocking down five of six attempts from the charity stripe.
