(Cornwall, ON -November 5, 2010) The Canadian Colleges Athletic Association announced today the CCAA Soccer Athletes of the Month for October. The CCAA Athlete of the Month program recognizes student-athletes for their outstanding event performance and athletic accomplishments during that month.

Awards are presented to one student-athlete in each conference participating in the CCAA Soccer; the five conferences are Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC), Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association (ACAA), British Columbia Colleges Athletic Association (BCCAA), Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA), and Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ). 

ACAC:
Leanne Kadatz, Northern Alberta Institute of Technology
Currently in her second year, NAIT Ooks striker Leanne Kadatz has quickly established herself as one of the most prolific scorers in ACAC history. In just six league games, Kadatz broke the single season scoring record in ACAC soccer with 19 goals. She completed the season with 22 goals, 12 assists, and tied the league scoring record with 7 goals in a single game.

ACAA:
Sarah Parker, Mount Saint Vincent University
Sarah Parker is a 4th year player at MSVU who has enjoyed a strong and consistent season. She scored six goals in six games during the month of October, which brought her season total to 16.  Parker set a strong example as a team captain, working hard to take her game to the next level.  She has also done an outstanding job mentoring the Mystics' younger players.

BCCAA:
Alexa Kennedy, University of British Columbia Okanagan

OCAA:
Connie Tamburello, Humber College
Fifth year student Connie Tamburello's perseverance and dedication to the sport of soccer is unequalled. She's established herself as one of the top players in the country, leading the Humber Hawks to the 2010 CCAA Nationals with two goals in the OCAA final game. This performance came despite the fact she missed the entire 2009 season with an injury.
