Jess Engelbrecht, NAIT Ooks, Women's Hockey
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Jessica Engelbrecht delivered a standout performance for the NAIT Ooks this past weekend. The forward from Lillooet, BC, played a key role in the Ooks’ weekend sweep over the SAIT Trojans, contributing two crucial goals.
On Friday night, Jessica netted the game-winning goal in a hard-fought 3-2 road victory. She followed that up on Saturday by opening the scoring, setting the tone for a 3-1 win, and securing the weekend sweep for the Ooks.
Off the ice, Jessica is equally dedicated, excelling in the Bachelor of Business Administration program. Her impact both on and off the ice makes her a vital part of the Ooks' success this season.
GAME ON: A GLIMPSE AHEAD
Jess and the Ooks are set for playoff action this weekend as they take on the Red Deer Queens on Friday at 7 PM at NAIT. The Ooks enter the postseason as the defending champions, ready for the battle ahead.
