Erin Chambers earned another major honour last week, sharing Basketball B.C.’s most outstanding university female player award.
The two-time All-American was named the co-winner of the award with University of British Columbia’s Kris Young at the provincial organization’s annual awards gala at the Langley Events Centre last Saturday.
Chambers was the NCAA Division II Great Northwest conference player of the year and a West region first team selection, following a season where she set an all-time women’s scoring record and finished third in NCAA Div. II, averaging 23.5 points per game.
The Mission, B.C. senior end her collegiate career as the leading scorer in conference history with 1,946 points, including a 41-point game in a win over Saint Martin’s University in February.
The performance was the third highest single-game point total in program history.
Earlier this year, Chambers shared female athlete of the year honours at SFU with middle distance runner Lindsey Butterworth.
Also entering the Basketball B.C. Hall of Fame was Province journalist and former Burnaby NOW sports writer Howard Tsumura in the Builder category.
