The UNBC Timberwolves have landed another recruit for the 2019 Canada West women’s soccer season.
Kenzie Chilcott of Fort St. John has committed to the team.
“Soccer has always come naturally. I have done it the longest, and the idea of letting it go didn’t feel good. I know it is close to my heart. This is a big relief, and a big step, and now I am just excited for this to happen,” said Chilcott in a team news release.
The five-foot-nine defender sees similarities in the approach to the game, between UNBC coach Neil Sedgwick’s team and her own Northern Strikers program.
“One of the things Neil talks about is being comfortable being uncomfortable. We have played like the Timberwolves, and I want to continue that. I love how Neil inspires us to grow and get better. That fits me really well.”
The 17-year-old Chilcott will graduate from North Peace Secondary in June and plans to pursue Civil Engineering in her time at UNBC.
