Maya Smith goes back-to-back, and a new face earns Athlete of the Week honours for week four of the 2024-25 season.
Maya Smith is the Capilano University Blues women’s Athlete of the Week.
Smith tallied goals in both games to help CapU to a win and a tie over Langara. The Port Coquitlam product was a maestro in midfield all weekend, getting the Blues attack organized.
On Saturday at the Falcon’s pitch, Smith assisted on the winning goal by Sophie Pather and then put the icing on the cake with the Blues third tally.
At home to Langara on Saturday, Smith outran the Falcons defenders and poked home Capilano’s only goal of the game, ensuring the single point.
Alex Baldry is the Capilano University Blues men’s Athlete of the Week.
The Blues rookie midfielder made his season debut in Week 4, playing two games against Langara, and immediately made his presence known.
Baldry hounded Falcons attackers all weekend, repeatedly winning possession battles and allowing his teammates to get on the counterattack. Baldry’s work in midfield helped the Blues earn a split against Langara and remain tied with the Falcons atop the PACWEST standings.
