Local soccer player commits to GPRC

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – A Fort St. John soccer player will continue her soccer career at Grande Prarie Regional College next year.

Isabella Ziebart will join the GPRC Wolves midfield for the 2021-2022 school year.

“I am grateful for the opportunity provided by GPRC to continue playing soccer after high school. I am confident that the coaching staff at GPRC can help take my game to the next level,” says Ziebart in the release.

In 2018, Ziebart played with the Zone 8 girl’s soccer team in the B.C. Summer Games, and brought home MVP at the Kelowna B.C. Canada Day tournament with her FSJ Northern Strikers team. In 2019,  Ziebart brought home the same MVP title once again and played in the BC Girls Soccer Provincial Championships and brought home first place at the Caledonia Cup.

Wolves head coach Chris Morgan has seen Ziebart play numerous times over the past few years.

“I first coached Isabella as a guest coach for the U14 Fort St. John Soccer Club in 2015. Isabella was a standout player at the time. I have continued to monitor her development while she played competitions in Edmonton. A multi-talented athlete, Isabella will bring a dynamism to the Wolves’ midfield next season,” says Morgan.

The Wolves play in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference.
