University of the Fraser Valley basketball players Sarah Wierks<\/strong>, Jasper Moedt<\/strong> and Kevon Parchment<\/strong> have been named to the Canada West conference all-star teams.
\nHeading the list is Wierks, who became the first Cascades women\u2019s basketball player to earn a first team all-star nod since UFV joined Canada West in 2006.
\nThe 6\u20192\u201d fifth-year centre from Chilliwack put together a sparkling campaign, leading the conference in scoring at 19.2 points per game while also authoring the greatest rebounding season in Canada West history. She set single-season conference records for total rebounds (307) and rebounding average (15.4), and tied the record for double-doubles with 18 in 20 games. She also established single-game marks for offensive rebounds (12), defensive rebounds (20) and total rebounds (31).
\nWierks led the nation in rebounding by a huge margin (she finished 4.1 boards per game ahead of her closest competitor) and was fourth in the CIS in scoring.
\n\u201cShe\u2019s had an unbelievable year,\u201d Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer said of Wierks, who finishes her career second on the conference\u2019s all-time rebounding list with 1,049 boards. \u201cShe did things that nobody in our program has ever done, and not a lot of people in the history of Canada West have ever done. She\u2019s left a huge mark on Canada West, and she leaves our program as one of the all-time greats.\u201d
\nMoedt, a 6\u20197\u201d fifth-year centre with the UFV men\u2019s basketball team, is a member of the conference\u2019s second all-star team for the second straight season.
\nA graduate of Abbotsford\u2019s Yale Secondary, Moedt led Canada West and was second in the nation in rebounding at 10.7 per game. He also averaged 11.6 points per contest, third-best on the Cascades, and registered nine double-doubles. Over his five-year career, Moedt\u2019s 27 double-doubles are seventh-most in conference history.
\n\u201cTo have Jasper finish off with an all-star is a great accomplishment for him,\u201d UFV head coach Adam Friesen said. \u201cHe\u2019s come a long way during his career, and he really prides himself on rebounding. So the fact he was finally able to win the rebounding title I know means a lot to him.\u201d
\nParchment was named a third team all-star, marking the first career Canada West all-star nod for the 6\u20193\u201d fourth-year guard from Toronto.
\nParchment paced the Cascades with 14.7 points per game, and was second on the squad in both rebounding (6.2) and assists (3.0). He also tied for first in the nation in steals (51), which is indicative of his key role in UFV\u2019s excellent defence. The Cascades ranked second in the conference this season in points allowed per game at 69.7.
\n\u201cWe can\u2019t win without him on the floor,\u201d Friesen said of Parchment. \u201cHe defends the other team\u2019s best player, he rebounds at a high level, and he led the country in the steals. And we\u2019re not even talking about his offensive game and what he gives us at that end of the floor.\u201d
\n\u2022 The Cascades men\u2019s basketball team hosts a playoff series at home this weekend. The Calgary Dinos are their opponent in the Canada West quarter-finals, and the best-of-three series runs Friday (6 pm), Saturday (6 pm) and Sunday (2 pm, if necessary) at UFV\u2019s Envision Athletic Centre.<\/p>\n
