Simon Fraser Clan

Simon Fraser Clan

The Simon Fraser Clan are the athletic teams that represent Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

SFU's teams formerly played in the United States National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for all sports. In 2000, Simon Fraser sought to join the U.S. NCAA as a Division II school, but was turned down. [http://www.canada.com/vancouver/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=4bcb77e5-b379-4e18-8a33-578138b9eba7] After this, SFU decided in 2002 to partially transfer to Canadian Interuniversity Sport. Before the transfer, SFU did not compete in Canadian football, instead playing American football. SFU currently competes in the following sports (affiliations included):
*Basketball, men and women (CIS)
*Cross-country, men and women (NAIA)
*Football, men (CIS)
*Soccer, men and women (NAIA)
*Ice Hockey, men (BCIHL)
*Softball, women (NAIA)
*Swimming and diving, men and women (NAIA)
*Track and field, men and women (NAIA)
*Volleyball, women (CIS)
*Wrestling, men and women (men in "both" CIS and NAIA; women in CIS only)

SFU is the only school to have finished in the top five of the NAIA division of the NACDA Director's Cup, an award given to the top overall college sports program in the United States, in each year since the award was first given to NAIA schools in 1996. The Clan won the NAIA Cup consecutively from 1997 through 2001, and again in 2004. The last win was especially impressive because it occurred after SFU partially transferred to CIS.

Oddly, the SFU Clan holds the NAIA record for most All-Americans and U.S. National Champions (individual).Fact|date=March 2007

Men's Soccer

* 2007 NAIA Final Four appearance
* 2006
