ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Amber Fichtner dominated her final home weekend as a Clipper, delivering a record-tying performance that cemented her place in ACAC history.
 

On Friday, she posted 13 points and 12 rebounds, earning Player of the Game honors. She followed that up on Saturday with a historic night, finishing with 13 points and an astonishing 26 rebounds—15 of them offensive—tying the ACAC single-game record for offensive boards. She also shot 7-for-9 from the free-throw line, capping off a remarkable weekend as Briercrest secured two statement wins over Lethbridge.

Amber has cemented her legacy as one of the greatest rebounders in ACAC history, finishing third all-time in total rebounds and first all-time in offensive rebounds. Now, she looks to lead the Clippers into the playoffs as they chase their first-ever gold medal. The team enters the postseason on a roll, winning eight of their last ten games to set a new program record of 15 wins (15-5) and securing a third-place finish in the ACAC South.
