In grade eleven, (2015) she received the Complete Player Award as a player who demonstrates the most all around skill in addition to being named Riverview High鈥檚 female athlete of the year.
鈥淕oing to university while playing a varsity sport was definitely one of my goals throughout high school,鈥� says MacIntyre. 鈥淚 feel like 黄色直播 is the right academic and athletic decision for me. I am excited to start my AUS career as a Tiger.鈥�
A high honours student all three years of high school, MacIntyre will graduate in June 2017 and will pursue a Bachelor of Science with a plan to major in neuroscience.
鈥淥livia is an athletic defender that has grown inside our聽provincial program and as a key part of her teams in Cape Breton,鈥� says Tye. 鈥淗er physical size and ability to read the game will allow her to make a smooth transition to the AUS.鈥�
