MUSCLE MLK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK



In the final home weekend of her career as a member of the UBC women’s basketball team, fifth-year point guard Diana Lee had the best two-game stretch as a T-Bird, helping the club sweep the Winnipeg Wesmen and earn a place in the Canada West playoffs.
 
In last Friday’s 77-57 win over the Wesmen, Lee was dominant in every aspect of the game, not only notching a career-high 32 points on 13-of-18 shooting (6-of-10 on threes), but also adding three rebounds, three assists, and four steals.
 
With her ‘Birds needing a win to secure their playoff positioning, Lee led the charge yet again on Saturday, putting away a team-high 18 points, adding six rebounds, three assists, and a steal to power the ‘Birds to an 86-38 win. In addition to her playmaking ability on offence, Lee’s smarts and aggression on defence were invaluable as the T-Birds held Manitoba to just 11-of-54 shooting (1-of-18 from three-point range).
