The UNBC Timberwolves Women’s Soccer added a homegrown talent signing midfielder Morgan Holyk for the upcoming Canada West season.
“It’s amazing to me that I get to represent not only the North but to represent the Timberwolves at the highest level there is in the country. I was brought up here, so it was a draw to represent the North and what we are capable of. I also like the programs at UNBC, and wanted to represent my home,” said Holyk in a news release.
Holyk started playing the sport through the Prince George Youth Soccer Association, before joining the Junior Timberwolves / EPIC Academy three years ago.
The Prince George native has been focused on playing soccer at the university level for years.
“I actually heard about university soccer through Paige (Payne) and Hannah (Emmond), when I was just a little kid, listening to them talk in the fields. That’s when I started to realize it was something I wanted as well. It took a lot of extra training. Pushing myself one step further to maybe do it a little better,” said Holyk.
She is set to graduate from College Heights Secondary in June and has been accepted into the Northern BC Nursing Program.
