Morrison and Okpala Named Athletes of the Week
Megan Morrison (WFUT) and Daniel Okpala (MFut) Named Athletes of the Week, sponsored by Mucho Burrito!
Mar. 1, 2022 - Two futsal athletes have taken the spotlight, as both teams kicked off their season with a tournament at Ambrose last weekend. Congratulations to Megan Morrison (WFUT) and Daniel Okpala (MFUT) for being named Mucho Burrito Athletes of the Week!
Megan Morrison (WFUT)
Megan (first year, General Studies, Medicine Hat) proved to be the spark-plug the Kodiaks needed last weekend, scoring two goals in a crucial win over Ambrose University. Morrison used her strong instincts to not only break up plays defensively but also generate numerous chances for the Kodiaks offence. Her high compete level is always on full display as she makes plays for her teammates and consistently wins one-one-one battles.
Daniel Okpala (MFUT)
Okpala (third year, Open Studies, Lethbridge) was a dominant offensive force for the Kodiaks men’s futsal team, tallying seven goals over two games to lead his team to a perfect 2-0 start to group stage play. Okpala’s footwork proved impeccable, consistently winning one-on-one battles and showing a deft scoring touch around the net.
