MRU Women's Soccer adds to its youthful talented squad for 2012

On the verge of MRU hosting the ACAC Futsal Tournament this coming weekend, the program has some exciting news to announce for it's preparations and the upcoming Canada West inaugural 2012 fall season.  


The program would like to announce the signing of the following prospects.  

Kelsey Neal; a small but tenacious attacking player who likes to get forward and buzz around the goal.  We will be looking for Kelsey to get herself into good attacking positions and be productive in around the goal.  

Caitlin Specht,  born on June 1994.  A hidden talent with a dominate left foot.  Caitlin has the physical size as first year player that the Cougars feel will benefit her ability of getting on the pitch and making an impact in her rookie season.  "I am looking forward to becoming a part of the Mount Royal Cougars."

Jaydn Sheeler, a member of the local SWU Alliance Youth U18 youth program.  A utility player of sorts but MRU will look for her ability to help the squad from the back.   We will look for Jaydn to get forward in our attack and make an impact in and around the opposing penalty area.

Kristen Bloom, another member of the NSD soccer club.  Kristen is following her family roots by attending MRU and we are excited about that!  Kristen will look to challenge for a starting position and time in the cougars midfield.  Bloom's vision and technical ability will provide this opportunity sooner than later.

Natalie Maleschuk, a top local Foothills product, will look to fill the centre-back role vacated by 5th year graduate Mallory McNab.  Maleschuk coming out of the local youth program has very good technical ability and will be a physical presence in the centre of the park.

Ashleigh Wroe, a member of the U18 National Champion Blizzard Threat, Wroe with her vision and quality first touch make her a good candidate to get some playing time up front with previous all-star attackers in Hodl and Kinzner.  

Exciting times for the Cougars Program; the team will be a young vibrate squad with good depth off the bench and looking to compete for the 2012 season.  

--Additional announcements will be added as they become finalized.
