A talented local striker is now one step closer to scoring goals for her hometown Timberwolves.

UNBC Timberwolves Women's Soccer head coach Neil Sedgwick announced today that 2008-born striker Alexa Talbot (Prince George, B.C.) will join the Green and Gold for 2026 and beyond.
Talbot, a soon-to-be graduate from College Heights Secondary School will play her senior high school season under the watchful eye of UNBC Timberwolves alumna Sydney Hall. She, like many other recent local commitments, have grown up playing club soccer for both PGYSA and Timberwolves FC.

"I chose UNBC because Prince George is my hometown," shared the newest Timberwolf who is gearing up to study Psychology next year at UNBC. "I love how connected the City is. Everyone is nice and supportive especially in the soccer community."
 
"Switching directions and taking on a player and beating them with my speed is my best quality on the pitch," added Talbot who is a two-time B CUP B.C. Provincial champion and has been helping coach younger PGYSA athletes since 2022.
 
Coach Sedgwick is excited to have another local player in the fold as he continues to add talent and high character to his roster for the coming season(s).
 
"Alexa is another quickly rising product of the youth structure in Prince George," shared Sedgwick. "We have monitored her progress and we have worked closely with her on a regular basis. It has been great to see her extending herself over the past two years. This has made the difference in her play and we believe that trajectory will continue. We are excited to have Alexa as part of what we're building at UNBC."
 
Between now and August, Talbot will be hard at work getting herself physically and mentally ready for the rigors of a Canada West season. But when she takes to the pitch for the first time in Green and Gold, it will be a feeling unlike any other she's felt before.
 
She concluded, "I just got goosebumps thinking about it. I've always wanted to do this. I watched games as a kid thinking, I'm going to be there one day. It'll be the best of my life!"
 
UNBC Athletics is thrilled to welcome Alexa Talbot to the UNBC Timberwolves family.
