| 12:00 am | 0 CommentBy Adam Ovenell-Carter Jeremy Lin has taken the sporting world by storm. Just when you think he can’t top himself, he does. He consistently puts forth unexpectedly amazing performances, and has a knack for the big-time play late in games. Hollywood couldn’t write a script like this. Sound familiar?

Clan sign four local products
| 12:00 am | 0 CommentBy Adam Ovenell-Carter With three star players graduating from the men’s soccer program, the Clan naturally had some roster spots to fill.

Running wild
| 12:00 am | 0 CommentBy Adam Ovenell-Carter At this point, you’d have to be trying to ignore the SFU track and field team to be unaware of how well they’re performing this season.

Horizon bright for men’s basketball
| 12:00 am | 0 CommentBy Adam Ovenell-Carter It hasn’t been an easy season for the SFU men’s basketball team, and that’s putting it lightly.

By Adam Ovenell-Carter Sometimes, there are games a team just shouldn’t win. Other times, there are games the team should just run away with. For the Clan, their Thursday evening game against the St. Martin’s Saints was definitely the latter. The Clan were fighting for third place in the GNAC, while the Saints were floundering at just 2–9 on the season. But as we more...
