Two members of the Vikes men's basketball team won national awards last night at the CIAU championships in Halifax. Eric Hinrichsen capped a brilliant year by winning the Mike Moser award as the outstanding basketball player in Canada. The graduating player won the same award two years ago. Teammate Robbie Green was presented with the Saxon award, given each year to the CIAU basketball rookie-of-the-year. The Vikes are at the championship as a wild card entry. Although they won the Canada West title in regular season play, they lost the playoff championship to the University of Alberta Golden Bears. Tonight (March 19), the Vikes play their first game of the championships against McMaster at 5 p.m. Pacific time. All Vikes games at the championships will be broadcast live on CFUV FM 101.9. |
