Erin Chambers, of SFU’s women’s basketball team, has been named to the national team representing Canada at the upcoming Summer Universiade in Kezan, Russia.

Chambers has just completed her sophomore season with the Clan, one that saw Simon Fraser University women's basketball program reach the 'Sweet 16' of the NCAA tournament.

"It will be a great experience for Erin,” says Bruce Langford, head coach. “She is a tough defender and certainly is ready for the challenge of playing in this tournament."

During the 2012-13 season, she led the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) in free-throw percentage at 90 percent, which was fourth in NCAA Division II. She was also fourth in three-point field-goal percentage at 39 percent.

GNAC named her Defensive Player of the Year and she was a second team conference all-star.

The team is training in Mississauga, ON until June 30. More training and exhibition games will follow in Kezan from July 2 to 7.
