Nova Scotia keeper Brett Strba commits to Panthers

| Athletics

University of Prince Edward Island men's soccer coach Lewis Page is pleased to announce that Windsor Junction, Nova Scotia native Brett Strba has committed to join the Panthers for the 2015-16 season.

Strba was captain of the Lockview High School team for the past two seasons, and captain of the Suburban FC team for the past three. A key contributor to the two-time Nova Scotia provincial champion Suburban FC, Strba was also selected MVP and Heart Award winner with Lockview. A member of the Nova Scotia provincial team from U12 to U16, Strba also participated in the National Training Centre program. Brett is involved with youth development and has trained young players with the Suburban, Scotia, and Bedford Titans football clubs and during Soccer Nova Scotia camps.

Strba says, 'I was fortunate to have had interest from many universities but ultimately chose UPEI because of the smaller campus atmosphere and the opportunity to play for Coach Page. I am very excited to attend UPEI, I feel it will be a great fit for me, academically and athletically.'

'UPEI soccer is excited to have Brett join our squad,' adds Coach Page. 'He brings experience playing youth and senior soccer and a great attitude to our team. We look forward to him helping us build on our success from last season.'

Strba will be entering the Bachelor of Business Administration program.
