UNBC’s Women’s Soccer program added another piece to its defense, officially announcing the commitment of Kelowna product Kambria Mellum.
“It means a lot to me. I am very excited because it’s a goal I have been working towards my entire soccer career. I am super excited to continue that, and it feels like a reward for all the hard work that I have done. UNBC is a smaller school, and I grew up in a smaller town and went to a smaller high school, so I think it will be a good fit for me.”
Mellum played her club soccer for Thompson Okanagan FC and caught the eye of Timberwolves coach Neil Sedgwick while playing centerback.
“We are really thrilled to add a player of Kambria’s calibre to the program. Kambria has the competitiveness and potential to be an impact defender in Canada West. She comes to UNBC already a player who is strong in the air and on the ground which are key to the way we like to play. I see her developing quickly, and I am excited to see her progress and grow. Today is exciting for us.”
Mellum will graduate from George Elliott Secondary School this June, and enroll in UNBC’s Health Sciences program with the long-term goal of pursuing physiotherapy. She will join her new teammates for training camp in August.
