Port Coquitlam's Kristina Collins sizzled Saturday and the Simon Fraser Clan cooked the Montana State Billings Yellowjackets.

A Riverside secondary school grad, Collins canned 26 points -- draining six-three pointers in the process -- as the Clan bounced the Yellowjackets 62-52 in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference university women's basketball game on Burnaby Mountain.

The win moved the Clan to 5-1 in their second season of GNAC (NCAA Div. 2) play.

"Last year's experience is really paying off right now," said Collins, a five-foot-10 junior who also went a perfect four-for-four from the free-throw stripe. "As a team, we learned the league and what we need to be successful at this level."

Last Thursday, Collins netted 15 points and dished out five assists as the Clan trimmed the Seattle Pacific Falcons 79-74 in their home opener.
