(Week 1) Shea Battie

Women’s Soccer Athlete of the Week
Shea Battie – VIU Mariners

Lightning-quick midfielder Shea Battie had a dynamite start to her fifth season as a Mariner. In Saturday’s home opener, Battie scored the first two goals of the game, the first one just 10 minutes into the contest as the Mariners defeated the defending PACWEST champion Capilano Blues 4-2. In Sunday’s rematch, while trailing Capilano 1-0 in the second half, Battie launched a picture-perfect header off a cross from Abby Duncan to tie the game. It was a goal that stood as the eventual game-tying score.
