Ayesha Umar: September's Zueike Female Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Ayesha Umar of Women's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Female Athlete of the Month for September. The second year midfielder has brought a talented boot to the pitch this season, scoring two critical goals in the Blazers' two wins on the season thus far.
In a season where the Blazers have struggled to find the back of the opponent's net on several occasions, Umar has come up clutch with the two game-winning goals in the Blazers' two wins at the halway point of the season. On a drizzly day out at Sturgeon Road Field, Umar was able to extend the Blazers' early lead over the visiting Assiniboine College Cougars with a slick low-corner strike off the dribble that stood as the game-winner in the team's 2-1 victory, marking the squad's first goals and points on the campaign. Then, in a tightly contested match at the home of the Brandon Bobcats this last Sunday, Umar showed her range of scoring talent, potting the lone goal of the match on a free kick strike from distance that landed perfectly in the top-corner out of reach of the Bobcats' keeper, a goal that could only be described as highlight reel material which had her fans throwing out mentions of "Messi" and "The GOAT" to describe the marker.
