ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT
This past week, goalkeeper
Anne-Marie Ulliac (Edmonton, AB/Western Kentucky University), was named the Provigo, Robert Lafond Athlete of the Week, the RSEQ Female Athlete of the Week and the U SPORTS Female Athlete of the Week!
A second-year Modern Languages student at Bishop's, Ulliac faced a tough challenge to open the 2021 season with the Gaiters. The defending RSEQ regular season champion UQAM Citadins had 20 shots throughout the game, 13 of which were on target and required Ulliac to make a save. Ulliac proved to be a difference maker for the Gaiters in the 1-0 victory and was named the game MVP.
