Even though the Bisons do not have any shortages in the attacking department, the presence of Alyssa Carpino will had another dimension to their roster.
The freshman plays as up front and in attacking midfield, and is noted for her wicked accuracy for shooting and distribution on both feet.
After a friend introduced her to the Bison’s Women’s Soccer Team, Carpino was intrigued right from the get-go. 
“I thought this would be a great opportunity to continue my education and also play the sport I love.” Said Carpino. “From there I contacted coach Vanessa Martinez Lagunas and told her I was playing in the Winnipeg League and to come to watch my games.”
Her initial interest in the Bisons heightened with an invite to the Junior Bisons traning sessions that took place in March. Not long after, she committed to the program.
Commitment is another trait that the Bisons would be benefiting from Carpino. The Ontartio played for her hometown club, the Thunder Bay Chill Reserve Program for nine years.
She also performed in two city championships and in the provincial championships at St. Ignatius High School – the same institute attended by former Bison midfielder Megan Graca.
Away from soccer, Carpino also played basketball and volleyball in high school.
