Women's Soccer Bring in Perennial Champion Desrosiers
Tuesday, April 9, 2024 @ 1:23 PM |
The CMU Women's Soccer program is very pleased to announce the commitment of Keirra Desrosiers for the 2024/25 MCAC season. The Pierre-Elliott Trudeau Canadienne will take her talents across town from the East End to Tuxedo to suit up for the Blazers this fall.
A multi-sport student-athlete, Desrosiers represents her high school Canadiennes during both the outdoor and indoor soccer seasons as well as on the hardcourt with the varsity girls volleyball team. College Pierre-Elliott Trudeau competes at the "AAA" level of Manitoba High School Sports Athletics Association, but managed to punch above their weight class during the most recent WYSA indoor season when the team lost to the eventual winners in the semi-finals of the Championship Division. She has been nominated for a number of awards through school sports, ranging from athletic to leadership to academic merit, so it's quite clear the Blazers are bringing in another complete package student-athlete into the program with Desrosiers.

The CMU Women's Soccer program is very pleased to announce the commitment of Noel Wiebe for the 2024/25 MCAC season. The team will call on the Dakota Collegiate and BoniVital product to lock down the Blazers' back line when the season starts up in late summer.
The captain for her MHSAA "AAAA" Dakota Lancers team, Wiebe tests her strong defending abilities on her high school squad, who have just recently finished her final WYSA High School Girls' indoor season in the top Premiership Group A of the city-wide league. Directing her teammates in front of her from the defensive side of the ball, Wiebe also utilizes her strong voice on the stage as well, having recently featured in Dakota Collegiate's latest musical "Wicked;" though the multi-talented student-athlete has no plans to study music while at CMU.

Oak Park has been a goldmine of top talent for the Blazers in recent years, including of course, Victoria's older sister Juliana, who featured on CMU's 2022*23 women's soccer squad, as well as rookie standout Louisa Ibarra Morton from this year's team.
