While many students crossing the stage last Thursday and Friday were thinking about their careers as a result of their graduation, one student is already following his passion on the soccer pitch.
Midfielder Sasa Plavsic has played for the UFV Cascadesâ soccer squad for the duration of his four years at UFV and led the team in scoring for the last three.
His career with UFV may be over, but he is far from done with the sport. Plavsic was named, along with the Cascadesâ 2011-12 rookie of the year, Colton OâNeill, to the Vancouver Whitecaps Premier Development League (PDL) club.

Hands down Kayla Bruce. With no disrespect intended to any other female athletes at UFV, Bruce is the clear winner of this year’s highest athletic honour. PACWEST Player of the Year and CCAA player of the year, Bruce led her team to a national title after a near perfect season. Seriously, this girl has raised the bar for what is expected from athletes at UFV.
