University of Manitoba Athletics

Though she’s a native of Winnipeg, Robyn Coffey did not get to experience hometown university soccer until 2015. For full campaigns, the defender performed both futsal and outdoor soccer at Providence University College. The resignation of Providence women’s soccer coach hinted toward a change for Coffey – she was coming home.

“I decided to transfer for the University of Manitoba after the Providence women’s coach resigned.” Said Coffey. “I didn’t have much time to try out for the Bison team… Fortunately enough, I was asked to come to pre-season and begin my journey as a Bison athlete.”

After a shorter journey than most with the Bisons, Coffey’s university career is coming to a close at the end of the 2017 season. She will be looking forward to build upon last season’s performances.

“Last season, the team was able to come together and play strong teams and not get blown out of the water. It made me excited to come back and work hard to beat the favourite teams.”
 
As Manitoba are hosting the national championships for the upcoming campaign, Coffey will be hoping to make the most out of the opportunity. “Since this is my final year of eligibility my focus has changed from having fun and doing well myself, to having fun with the team and making sure everyone enjoys the journey to nationals that we will be hosting in November. I hope to make an impact towards our team’s results, but I also want everyone to know that they are part of a great team no matter what the results are in the end.”
