Nikki Charlton, SAIT Trojans, Women's Futsal

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Nikki Charlton, the Championship MVP, was a leader and steady force for the SAIT Trojans as they defended their futsal title for the second straight year.

Now in her fourth season, Charlton’s footwork is among the best in the league, and her ability to stay calm under pressure makes her stand out in the fast-paced world of futsal.

She made her presence known early in the tournament, scoring in the opening game (9-1) against Keyano before adding another in a 6-0 win over Lethbridge. In the semi-final, she stepped up again, finding the net twice in a dominant 7-1 victory over the host team.

Beyond her goal-scoring, Charlton played a massive role in setting up so many of the Trojans’ 24 goals throughout the tournament. Her vision on the ball and ability to create scoring chances made her a key playmaker, assisting on countless goals and helping her teammates shine.

Whether she was controlling the pace, turning defenders inside out, or holding strong defensively, Charlton was a difference-maker all weekend—earning her well-deserved MVP honors.
