Shane was an integral player as NAIT captured the ACAC Championship title this past weekend.  In the first game against SAIT, Cox had 25 points and was five-for- five from beyond the arc.  He nearly matched the effort the following night against MacEwan; leading the team with 20 points.  Head coach Don Phillips praised Cox by saying, “Shane was a huge part of our success this weekend.  We had some injuries and when we needed players to step up, Shane did.” 

Cox, who hails from Brampton Ontario,  is a fourth year player currently in the HVAC specialist program at NAIT.

Congratulations Shane for a gold medal performance and being named Athlete of the Week!
