From the coach:
“Alya is a player to come through North Toronto Soccer’s youth teams so we know her really well and have a lot of confidence in what she brings to this team. She has pace and power in abundance and this showed in her first year at University of Buffalo where she absolutely dominated. Last season Alya made herself available in every game, even when she wasn’t 100% fit and healthy, which says a lot about her mentality and commitment to this group. We are looking forward to having a fully fit and healthy Alya available to us this year as she can be a game-changer at this level of football.” – Billy Wilson, Head Coach
