Athletes of the Week - January 29, 2025

Tina Bett has been consistently leading the team in the backcourt all season. She's been performing not only at an elite level of serve receive day in and out, but her ability to cover almost the entire court has allowed the Lions Women's Volleyball team to pursue the high level of achievement so far this semester.

After a slow start to the semester with a 3-6 record, Bett has been a driving force as they now sit 9-6.

Bett is able to read the floor and support the team in every aspect whether diving for a ball to keep the team in play, or being vocal from the  bench before jumping back in as the defensive specialist.

Male Athlete of the Week

Congratulations to our male athlete of the week!

Hunter Snyder - MBB

Hunter Snyder had the best weekend of his career and was a major asset in Saturday's upset against the SAIT Trojans. His consistent play and intensity kept the team alive through all four nail-biting quarters, and his strength on defense combined with good decision making on offense were the qualities in a leader this young squad needed.

Snyder never backed down in the paint, constantly using his agility to find gaps and finish strong. His sight and IQ when driving to the basket both provided opportunities for him to score and created space at the perimeter for his teammates to succeed from three.

The third-year wing was a necessity in the Lions Den on Saturday and was one of the driving forces behind an exhilarating win.

The Lions Men's basketball team looks to use the momentum from a huge win as they take on the Olds College Broncos this weekend, starting at home on January 31.

Congratulations Hunter!
