(Week 1) Erin Bhandal

Women’s Soccer Athlete of the Week
Erin Bhandal – Langara Falcons

Erin Bhandal was instrumental in the Falcons opening weekend, as they surpassed their win total from last year, securing their first six-point weekend since 2014. She was a game-changing presence in the midfield for the Falcons, as she won numerous challenges that stopped the Capilano attack and facilitated numerous opportunities on the offensive side of the pitch. Her first goal on Saturday came as she beat a Blues defender off the ball and buried a shot past the keeper. She scored her second goal on a PK, which proved to be the eventual game winning goal. Then on Sunday, the first year student athlete helped disrupt the Blues offense, limiting shot opportunities, while also generating offensive opportunities of her own teammates.
