North Vancouver’s Elisa Homer was shooting fire for the Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team Saturday, equalling a Great Northwest Athletic Conference record with nine three-pointers in an 84-54 win over Saint Martin’s University.
The Handsworth grad totalled 32 points in the road win, shooting 9-18 from three, 10-21 from the field and 3-5 from the free throw line while also grabbing six rebounds. The final score wasn’t close but the Clan was only leading by seven with nine minutes left in the game. Homer helped SFU find another gear, hitting a three to push the lead back to 10.
“Homer is playing with a lot confidence right now,” said Clan head coach Bruce Langford in an SFU release. “Everybody in the conference knows she can shoot the three and now she is getting even better at reading screens and knowing when to pop back and take the three. … Tonight she made a lot of tough shots, and what’s just as impressive, is she also picked up six boards – that’s sweet.”
Homer tied a GNAC record for made three-pointers shared by Kelsey Burns of Seattle Pacific and Sasha King of Alaska Anchorage.
