Keyla Moreno, the top goal-scorer on the women’s soccer team, has been named Humber’s female athlete of the year.
“This is amazing,” Moreno, 20, said after Friday’s athletic awards banquet at North Campus.
“I don’t think words can describe this.”
Moreno, who started playing sports at three, said she was required in later years to choose between basketball and soccer.
She chose her passion and soccer has been huge part of her life ever since, she said.
Moreno, a recreation and leisure student, has been on the outdoor and indoor teams for two years and said she is returning for at least another season.
Although her program is finished next year, she said she might return to Humber for continuing education and to continue playing.
For now, Moreno said her focus is preparing for the next outdoor season, hoping to win her first Canadian championship.
Her team finished third at nationals in the outdoor season last fall and second in the indoor season this year.
“It’s really great getting awards like this. I feel honoured,” Moreno said.
“But I would give it all up for our team to win next year. That’s what is most important to me.”
Rookie teammate Jacqueline Rolfe, 19, said Moreno takes things very seriously when she is on the field.
“At first I was a little bit scared of Keyla because she is such an intimidating player, but off the field, she is so nice and a good friend,” said Rolfe, a  kinesiology student.
Assistant coach Filomena Aprile, said “it’s a great achievement and well deserved. Keyla has come a long way from this year to her first year. In terms of soccer she has matured, as a person she has turned things around academically and has a focus and that is what it’s really all about. Yes, this is an athlete award but we want the reciever to develop as a person, achieve their goals, and she’s done a great job of doing that.”
