2009-10:
November 9, 2009 - Kevin Friesen - Cross Country
The Simon Fraser University Clan men's cross country team put together an outstanding performance this past weekend at the Association of Independent Institutions Championship, and the principle reason was the performance of Nanaimo's Kevin Friesen. A senior on the team, Friesen finished second overall, just a second behind the winner from CSU San Marcos. Friesen and his teammates now have a week off before the 2009 NAIA National Championships in Vancouver, Washington, on November 21.

October 26, 2009 - Cassie Newbrook - Women's Soccer
After shutting out the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds to win the 2009 Challenge Cup, senior keeper Cassie Newbrook is the SFU Clan Athlete of the Week for the week ending October 26, 2009. Newbrook made two key stops in the second half to force a shoutout, as the game was scoreless after 90 minutes. The Clan won the shootout 5-4 on a goal by Caitlyn Young.
Newbook and her teammates have the week off, and finish their regular season against Fraser Valley next week.
October 19, 2009 - Spencer Watt - Football
Playing without starting quarterback Bernd Dittrich and leading rusher Gabe Ephard, the Simon Fraser Clan needed a catalyst on offence, and the speedy Spencer Watt delivered.
The wideout's second quarter 91-yard touchdown reception broke the game open offensively for the Clan, and his acrobatic five catch 132-yard performance made the difference in the Clan’s 30-1 Shrum Bowl victory over the UBC Thunderbirds (1-6).
Watt was named the Shaw TV Player of the Game, and helped the Clan take the all-time Shrum Bowl advantage 16-15-1 in the series. The Clan (3-4) enter their bye-week this week, but are back in action in two weeks in Manitoba (2-4) to close out the regular season.
October 12, 2009 - Colin Streckmann - Men's Soccer
After scoring two goals in the Clan men's soccer team's 3-1 over St. Martin's on Sunday afternoon, Colin Streckmann (Burnaby, B.C.) is the SFU Clan Athlete of the Week for the Week ending October 11, 2009. Streckmann and his teammates are in action on Tuesday night against UBC. Game time is set for 7 pm.
October 5, 2009 - Hide Ozawa - Men's Soccer
After posting two shutout victories last week, including stopping the #1 ranked Trinity Western Spartans 2-0, and lifting SFU over NCAA Division 1 power Seattle University 1-0, men's soccer goalkeeper Hide Ozawa (Victoria, B.C.) is the SFU Clan Athlete of the Week. Ozawa is now 6-1 on the year, with four shutouts, and looks to continue SFU's winning ways this Sunday when the CLan host St. Martin's at 3 pm.
September 28, 2009 - Jessica Smith - Cross Country
After leading her team to their first overall victory of the 2009 season at the Evergreen Invitational, and winning the overall individual title, cross country runner Jessica Smith is the SFU Clan Athlete of the Week. Smith, an NAIA All-American in 2007, is hoping to return to that status as the season progresses towards the NAIA National Championships in November.
September 21, 2009 - Cassie Newbrook - Women's Soccer
Playing on an injured leg, Clan goalkeeper Cassie Newbrook (New Westminster, B.C.) is the SFU Clan Athlete of teh Week after posting her third shutout of the season against #1 ranked Cal Baptist, and stopping three shot in the Clan's 3-1 win over Corban College. Against the top-ranked Lancers, Newbrook made seven saves, gutting out one of the best performance by an NAIA keeper this season.
September 14, 2009 - Alex Hanne - Men's Soccer
Transfer forward Alex Hanne (Calgary, AB), is the SFU Clan Athlete of the Week after leading SFU to 9-1 win over Menlo College. Hanne scored six of the Clan's nine goals, tying a team record, and now leads the team in points with 13 points on the season.
September 8, 2009 - April Coffin - Women's Soccer
Newcomer April Coffin is the SFU Clan Athlete of the Week after leading SFU to a perfect 3-0 record last week. Coffin (Surrey, B.C.) scored the game winning goal against Victoria on Sunday, and accumulated six points during a three game stretch. Coffin also assisted on two of the Clan's three goals in an overtime win over Evergreen State, and scored SFU's first goal in their 2-1 win over Chico State.
August 31, 2009 - Jeff Thompson - Football
After redshirting in 2008, SFU cornerback and return man Jeff Thompson (St. Louis, MO) made his presence known to the CIS on Saturday afternoon, taking the opening punt return 47 yards to the UBC 43. In a game where field position mattered, Thompson’s special teams contributions (six punt returns for 100 yards, one kickoff return for 34 yards) proved to be the difference. With 1:35 left in the first half, and UBC posting their only lead of the game 7-3, Thompson took the ensuing kickoff to midfield, giving SFU the field position they needed to set up their two-minute offence.
Later in the third quarter, Thompson took a punt return at his own 31-yard line, and was surrounded by blue UBC jerseys. The Bachelor of Arts major wiggled out of a pile, broke three tackles and wound up somehow on the UBC 38-yard line for a 41-yard return, setting up another SFU field goal.
