Carly Neeson
Sport: Women’s Soccer
Position: Forward
Hometown: Maple Ridge, BC
Major: General Studies (1)
Neeson was the only student-athlete at the 2010 CIS National Championship to be named “Player of the Game” in all three matches her school played in! The rookie forward from Maple Ridge, BC was the only Canada West student-athlete named to the 2010 CIS All-Canadian Tournament team. She scored one goal and one penalty kick in the Cascades 3-2 Bronze Medal penalty kick victory over the University of Montreal Carabins.
It was Carly’s work on the pitch that led to three of UFV’s 4 goals during the tournament. At one point in the Laval match the 5 foot 1 inch striker was double teamed by the Rouge et Or because she kept breaking down their defensive structure. It was a foul by Laval on Carly that led to Caitlin Blondin’s historic first UFV goal at the CIS Championships.
