First, the Concordia Thunder Women Soccer team earned the CCAA silver. The Concordia Thunder Women's soccer team represented Concordia well, but fell short in the CCAA Women's Soccer National Championship, after a 2-0 shutout loss to Indiennes d'Ahuntsic
Led by CCAA soccer coach of the year – Dean Cordeiro – this is the second medal in four years for Concordia’s women's soccer team.
Secondly, Marriya Jenkins won the silver medal after placing second in the CCAA National Cross-Country running race, also on Saturday. Marriya is in her second year as a XC runner. Her remarkable achievements also earned her CCAA female athlete of the week honours leading up to the final race.
Marriya wants to acknowledge her family, friends, team-mates, and her coach Matthew Norminton for his dedication to her training.
