Clan lose close one at the buzzer Simon Fraser University dropped its first game in Great Northwest conference play following a 5957 loss at the buzzer to No. 11-ranked Western Washington University on Saturday. Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe picked up her ninth double-double of the season and 50th over her collegiate career, leading all Clan players with 14 points and 21 rebounds. Kristina Collins and Erin Chambers added 13 and 11 points, respectively, to the SFU scoreline. In a low scoring, defensively played first half, SFU took a 29-23 advantage into the dressing room at the half-time interval. But Western Washington opened the second half on a 12-5 run and held onto a slim lead until Chambers hit a three-pointer with less than seven minutes left to regain the lead for the visiting Clan. SFU kept the lead until the final minute, setting up a wild finish. Raincock-Ekunwe tied the score on a layup with just six seconds left on the
clock, but the home team took back the lead on a twopointer from Britt Harris as time expired. SFU’s conference record fell to 4-1 and 11-2 overall, following the loss.
