Tiegan Kroeker: October's Zueike Female Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Tiegan Kroeker of Women's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Female Athlete of the Month for October. The third year captain of the Blazers played a pivotal role in CMU's playoff push down the home stretch of the season.
Kroeker displays a calming but confident presence on the field, especially for her teammates who can play ahead of her on the pitch knowing they have one of the league's standout defenders shutting down the opposition's scoring chances. "Tiegan is such an impactful player because she's able to cove a huge area of the field due to her speed and fitness and she rarely loses 50/50 battles" noted co-head coach of women's soccer, Cara Isaak, regarding the play of their captain. The ability to turn 50/50 chances in the team's favour is certainly something every team desires in their top defenders, and Kroeker displayed that ability in spades, often being called upon to cover many of the league's top players.
