UPEI Women’s Soccer Panthers recruit Katie Trifos looking to spark offence
UPEI Women’s Soccer head coach Lewis Page wants his team to score more, and he’s hoping his latest recruit, Katie Trifos, can help facilitate the offence.
Last season, the Panthers found themselves in most games, but the margin of error was slim as they averaged fewer than a goal per contest. As a result, UPEI finished with a 1-6-5 record.
That’s where Trifos’ skillset comes in. Page envisions the 18-year-old as a cornerstone piece to the midfield and someone who can set up teammates for more scoring chances.
