PRINCE GEORGE—The UNBC Timberwolves Women’s Soccer team announced the addition of their latest midfielder.

18-year-old Morgan Holyk, of Prince George will be part of the Timberwolves’ 2020-21 Canada West season.

“It’s amazing to me that I get to represent not only the North, but to represent the Timberwolves at the highest level there is in the country. I was brought up here, so it was a draw to represent the North and what we are capable of.”—Morgan Holyk

Holyk has been playing soccer since the age of four in the PGYSA program, before joining the Junior Timberwolves /EPIC Academy three years ago.

The five-foot-four addition says it’s been a goal of hers to play soccer at the university level.

“I actually heard about university soccer through Paige (Payne) and Hannah (Emmond), when I was just a little kid, listening to them talk at the fields. That’s when I started to realize it was something I wanted as well. It took a lot of extra training. Pushing myself one step further to maybe do it a little better.” —Morgan Holyk

Holyk says she understands that the jump from youth soccer to university is substantial, but says she is up for the challenge.
