Stevenson Brings Skill And Experience To Women’s Soccer

Caitlyn Stevenson becomes the latest talent added to the Cougars women’s soccer 2022-23 roster.

Stevenson is a 5’9 defender from Minnedosa, MB. She has a passion for two things, soccer and the great outdoors – hunting, fishing and camping are some of her favourite pastimes.

Stevenson attended Minnedosa Collegiate where she was an honour roll student and competed for the Chancellors. She received the Athlete of the Year award in elementary school, but didn’t get a chance to compete for the Chancellors in her final year of high school due to the pandemic. This also meant Minnedosa didn’t award an Athlete of the Year.

“I’ve got a strong and well directed kick. For all my teams I would be the designated free kicker, goal kicker and most often penalty kicker,” recalls Stevenson. “I’m excited about being part of not only a soccer team again but a community of people who love the same sport and are all trying to work towards the same goal.”

“Caitlyn is a talented and gifted player that anticipates the ball and effectively positions herself on the field,” said co-coach Gerry Rocan. “She is dangerous in transition, can hit the net from 35 yards away and she makes pinpoint passes with ease. She will make a great addition the roster.”

Turning her love of the outdoors into a career, Stevenson will be take the colleges’ Land and Water Management program in the fall.

“My dream is to be able to make a difference within the environment,” said Stevenson. “I want to learn all about it and how it makes the world go around.”
