Thanks for the support you are the ONLY media that is giving this any attention. No one cares about girls and womens football on this island and we have some excellent players here and abroad doing bigger things than the guys (google Jessica Furtado). Please keep covering us, we need the support. The governing body for the sport doesnt even see it fit to advertise or give the girls/women any attention, go figure that? And we wonder why it has gone where it has……….
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Jessica Furtado, Cape Breton
Furtado is the fifth CBU player to earn AUS rookie-of-the-year honours since 1990 and the first since former Caper Natalie Cullen took home the award in 2003.
The 5-foot-6 midfielder from Hamilton, Bermuda, scored five goals in her freshman season to lead the Capers in scoring this year and rank fifth overall in the Atlantic conference. Jessica appeared in all 13 of Cape Breton’s regular season games and was also named a second team AUS all-star Thursday.
“Jessica is a very mature soccer player and has made an immediate impact since her first game with our program, leading the team in scoring,” said Cape Breton head coach Stephen Timmons. “As an attacking midfielder she has shown great vision this season and can score goals when given the opportunity.”
The last Atlantic conference player to be named CIS Rookie of the Year was Cape Breton’s Michelle Desjardins in 2000.
