Panther women’s soccer recruits goalkeeper Veronica Kozak of Mississauga
Lewis Page, head coach of the UPEI women’s soccer team, has recruited goalkeeper Veronica Kozak of Mississauga, Ontario.
Kozak’s career between the posts began young. In her first year playing soccer, when she was just seven years old, she chose goalkeeper because she didn’t care for running.
“Eventually, I noticed I was actually enjoying it,” she said. “You get to make these crazy saves or as one of my coaches liked to describe it: ‘picture saves’.”
Kozak credits support from her parents early on for her development, including practice drills with her father.
