Mariners Melanie
Melanie Osborne of the VIU Mariners was outstanding between the pipes this year
The VIU Mariners locked down the top seed and receive a bye into this weekend’s PACWEST gold medal game after finishing the regular season 8-1-3.
One of the major reasons for the Mariners success this season has been the play of their backend anchored by keeper Melanie Osborne. Now in her second PACWEST season the Coquitlam native was virtually unbeatable recording three shutouts and PACWEST low 0.67 goals against average in 11 games.
She talks with Ryan Watters about the regular season and looking ahead to this weekend’s gold medal game against either the Capilano Blues, the only team to beat the Mariners, and the Douglas Royals.
