鈥淐harlotte has been a huge part of the team鈥檚 success this season,鈥� said head coach James Voye. 鈥淪he has been completely locked in with her kicking game, especially during the past three weeks when she went a perfect 8-for-8 at home against the Saint Mary's University Huskies, and then scored on three conversions against Acadia and two conversions and two penalty kicks against St. FX when we defeated both teams on the road.鈥�

Third-year soccer centre back Max VanWiechen continues to be a steady force on defence. The arts student from Montague, PEI displayed leadership throughout the tough 3-0 defeat to the Saint Mary鈥檚 University Huskies on October 15.
