University of Manitoba Athletics

A rookie for this season, Jamie Newall arrives at the University of Manitoba from Winnipeg Phoenix FC. Most recently, the River East graduated finished the 2015 MHSAA season as consolation winners, as well as the Kilcona Peguis Athletic Conference championship.
She credits her youth club for her development, which has now led to her becoming a CIS prospect.
“Playing district soccer with Phoenix helped me get where I am today,” Said Newell. “Playing the Kilcona league and winning championships was more about playing with my friends.”
Newall was recruited by the Bison’s Women’s Soccer Team in early May, following a successful trail during open tryouts.
“I’m very grateful for having been selected to play for the Bisons and looking forward to making the most of this opportunity.” Said Newall after she committed to The Herd.
Newall plays in both midfield and forward positions, carrying both a trusty left foot and a team-oriented mentality.
“I bring a dominant left foot to my position and an unselfish attitude when playing soccer.” Said Newall.
