Female Athlete of the Week – Katherine Koehler-Grassau (Greely, Ont.) – 5th Year – UOIT Ridgebacks
The UOIT Ridgebacks women’s soccer team is finding their stride after a tough start, and a big contributor to the team’s current seven-game point streak is long-time Ridgeback Katherine Koehler-Grassau.
After the teams traded early goals, the Ridgebacks were looking for a spark to give them the edge against the Laurentian Voyageurs on Saturday, and they managed to get just that before the break. After receiving a terrific through ball, Koehler-Grassau found herself in a one-on-one situation against a Voyageurs defender and after getting by her, the fifth-year midfielder side-stepped the goaltender to put home the game-winner.
Beyond her exceptional ability to execute within UOIT’s offensive transitions, Koehler-Grassau also provided strong support in the defensive half of the pitch during her team’s win and draw this weekend.
