Tessa Ritchie - Soccer

JOEY’S FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Mount Allison’s department of Athletics and Recreation is pleased to announce that the Joey’s Female Athlete of the Week for the week of September 12th-18th is Tessa Ritchie from the Mounties women’s soccer program.

A fourth year keeper from Ottawa, ON, Ritchie earned her first shutout of the season during Mount Allison’s 2-0 win over Saint Mary’s on Saturday. Ritchie had several key saves in helping to preserve the win for the Mounties, who lost on Sunday to #8 ranked Cape Breton. Ritchie was recognized for her strong play in 2015 by being selected as an AUS 2nd team All-Star.

The Mounties travel to StFX (Saturday) and Cape Breton (Sunday) this weekend.  Both games can be seen live on www.austv.ca.
