(Week 3) Rachel Barker

Female Athlete of the Week
Rachel Barker – Langara Falcons

On Saturday against VIU, Rachel was the key in securing the Falcons first point of the season, coming back to finish the game in a 2-2 tie after she scored the Falcons second goal on a central free kick (40-45 yards out) in the 60th minute. Then on Sunday against the Capilano Blues, she was once again a strong presence in the midfield and opened the games’ scoring just 19 minutes in. Despite losing the contest her defensive presence helped prevent numerous scoring chances for the opposition.
