Chavaun Miller-Bennett was one of three Fanshawe basketball players named as an OCAA All-Star.

The Ontario College Athletics Association (OCAA) honoured three basketball players from the men's and women's teams when they handed out the 2014 league awards.

Ali Vlasman, a rookie from the women's team, was honoured with being on the First Team All-Star and All-Rookie Team. Vlasman lead the team with 14 points per game and managed to have the second- highest shooting percentage in the OCAA at 53.9 per cent. The women's season came to an end at the OCAA Provincial Championships when they were defeated by St. Lawrence College 59-51 in late February.

Men's guard Chavaun Miller- Bennett was honoured as a Second Team All Star. The two-year veteran averaged 13.2 points per game. Bennett was also honoured recently as the OCAA Men's Basketball Player of the Week in the week of February 25 for a 24-point performance in Fanshawe's crossover playoff game versus Centennial College.

Guard Alex Thompson was honoured named to the All-Rookie Team. Thompson averaged 7.8 points per game and let the team with 2.6 assist per game. Thompson was to guide the men's team to an 11-7 record in the West Division. However, the men's season came to an end in late February when they were defeated by George Brown College 80-70 at the OCAA Provincial Championships.

Fanshawe is very proud of both teams and their performances and is looking forward to the next season.
