MUSCLE MLK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK



The ‘Birds were felled twice by the Victoria Vikes over the weekend, but it wasn’t for the performance of their star point guard. 
 
In a heartbreaking, last-second, 72-71 loss on Friday night, Diana Lee (North Vancouver) notched a team-high 21 points in 34 minutes of action. The fifth-year guard’s shooting stroke was particularly potent, as she connected on 7-of-15 shots from the field, but more impressively, 5-of-9 from distance. Lee also showed off her hands on defense, picking up three steals.
 
Lee led the T-Birds in scoring on Saturday night’s 69-57 defeat, posting 17 points, hitting 3-of-5 shots from beyond the arc, and three assists in the decision.
 
The T-Birds are on a bye this week, but will hit the court once again on the weekend of February 12-13, as they head to Manitoba to square off against the Brandon Bobcats.
