Bowie's impeccable shooting abilities and strong leadership helped lead the Vikings basketball team this weekend.

A third-year guard, Nathan Bowie's weekend definitely set the tone in a must-win series vs NAIT. His 6/10 shooting on Friday led to 16 points and 7/15 shooting (plus 8/8 from the free throw line) on Saturday garnered him 26 points.

Playing point guard and shooting guard, Nathan had 10 assists and 5 rebounds on Friday and 10 rebounds and 5 assists on Saturday, combined with his gritty leadership and ability to play his best in the tight moments helped show why he's a key part of the Vikings' basketball team. Nathan's best performance, however, was an outstanding leadership performance in addition to a statistical one.

 

Nathan Bowie is from Edmonton, AB and is in his 3rd year playing with the Vikings; primarily as a shooting guard. He is enrolled in the Business Management degree program and one day hopes to find a career as a businessman. As a returning player, Nathan hopes to be about that action.

When Nathan is not on the basketball court you can find him resting or putting up shots in the gym. His favorite movie is Step Brothers and his favorite food is sushi.
