Female Basketball Athlete of the Week
Kirsten Abo – Capilano Blues

The 5-foot-4 point guard came through when it counted most for the Blues in a pair of home wins over VIU. Kirsten Abo scored 15 of her game-high 27 points in the final frame on Friday to turn a two-point deficit after three quarters into an eight-point win. The fifth-year veteran was 4-for-4 from three to close out the game and finished 6-of-8 from downtown to go with five rebounds, three assists and three steals. In Saturday’s contest, she helped hold off a late VIU rally, going 5-of-6 from the free throw line as part of a 13-point, six-assist outing. The lone three Abo made Saturday was her 100th make from beyond the arc for her Blues career. Her weekend totals were 40 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and four steals.
