Coyotes Sweep
A pair of Okanagan Coyotes are named Athletes of the Week
The PACWEST is proud to announce the basketball Athletes of the Week following the final weekend of the regular season.
Female Basketball Athlete of the Week
Natasha Alfonso – Okanagan Coyotes
On Friday the Coyotes had arguably the biggest game in program history in their third year in the Conference. Natasha stepped up and hit four-three pointers, tallied 18 points with six steals and shooting over 50% from the field. Despite playing two less games and needing to still achieve more wins than their competition the big win on Friday helped the Coyotes clinch third place, their best placing in their young history. Over the course of the weekend doubleheader with the Royals Natasha combined for 28 points, seven steals, 10 assists, 12 rebounds and five-three pointers.
Male Basketball Athlete of the Week
Ajay Gill – Okanagan Coyotes
First year player Ajay Gill was simply outstanding this past weekend, needing to step up without the Coyotes leading scorer in the line-up. He was highly efficient from the field and from the three-point line while being a great floor general with only three turnovers in 63 minutes and tallied 11 assists. He averaged 27 points over the weekend and shot 60% from the field.
