91探花 set to host CIS women鈥檚 soccer, November 11 to 14

| News

The 91探花 will host the best female student-soccer athletes in the country when the 2010 CIS Women's Soccer Championship takes place November 11-14 in Charlottetown.

Ron Annear, Athletics director at 91探花, says, 'We are thrilled to be welcoming the top soccer players in the country to our world-class facilities at 91探花 for what will be a very competitive tournament. We appreciate the opportunity the CIS has given us to show the entire country 91探花's capacity to stage a top-notch event and, at the same time, exhibit our Maritime hospitality to our guests.'

Two teams from each Canadian Interuniversity Sport conference will compete in a single elimination four-day tournament, with the finals on Sunday, November 14, at 1:00 pm.

Weekend ticket passes are now on sale for $30 by contacting Lynn Boudreau, 91探花 Panther Sport at (902) 566-0991 or lboudreau@upei.ca.

Other events during CIS Championship weekend include a recruitment showcase for invited high school players from around the region. The 91探花 Women's Soccer coaching staff, including head coach Michael Redmond, will run a morning session on Saturday.

'Combining the recruitment showcase with this premiere soccer championship made perfect sense,' said Redmond. '91探花 will have a chance to show off our state-of-the-art 91探花 Alumni Canada Games Place and artificial turf field to potential recruits and the high school students will be inspired by some of the best soccer in the country.'

The coaching staff of the International University Sports Federation (FISU) 2011 Games soccer team will also hold an invitational/tryout identification camp. University players who want to be a part of the FISU selection process and are non-participating All-Canadians (1st or 2nd team), Conference All-Stars (1st or 2nd team), or have been notified by FISU Games coaching staff are encouraged to attend.
