First-year goalkeeper Anna Biebrich adds critical depth and some local flavour to a promising netminders group that also includes second-year Karina Bagi (Kelowna, BC) and second-year Alexis Anderson (Thunder Bay, ON). 

She has an accomplished resume at both the club and provincial levels, having started for Team Manitoba during the 2017 Canada Games while also suiting up for the Valour FC Elite Girls team. She was also the team captain for the nationals-qualifying FC Northwest team in 2018-19. 

She has a strong relationship with head coach Vanessa Martinez Lagunas, who secured her commitment this past year. 

"My recruitment process started in grade nine. Vanessa and I have always talked about me becoming a Bison and I finally chose to attend the U of M at the start of grade 12! I chose U of M because it's close to home, they have an amazing team atmosphere and for the great coaching staff. 

For Biebrich, the opportunity to play at the next level is a long time coming and she's excited to see what the future holds. 

"I'm so excited to be not only a student athlete but a bison. Being a student athlete is something I have always wanted and I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to attend an amazing school and play the sport I love."
