Jada Honoured

It was a dominating performance on the soccer pitch in 2025 from Jada Kamerman of the VIU Mariners. 

In 11 games played this past season, the Nanaimo native led this high-octane offence scoring seven of the team’s 34 goals and collected countless assists.  Her play on the pitch set the tone for the eventual Conference champions every time she tied up her cleats.  Her play in the offensive zone drew the opposition’s attention and with her keen pitch awareness, Kamerman opened the middle of the field and showed her talent to pass the ball into tight windows giving her teammates the opportunity to score.  Her consistent pressure and pace of play kept the opposition’s defenders on their heels which also opened lanes for her teammates.

As mentioned above her unselfish play distributing the ball made her the most dangerous player on the pitch helping the Mariners offence to account for six players in the PACWEST’s Top 10 in scoring.  

Her performance over the course of the regular season allowed her to be named the PACWEST Player of the Year and she was named the championship tournament Most Valuable Player following the gold medal game in which she scored both goals in a 2-0 victory.

Jada Kamerman is named the PACWEST Athlete of the Year Across All-Sports for the 2025-2026 athletic season!  Congratulations Jada!
