Jordan had a stellar start to her OCAA career this past weekend. On September 10th, the rookie Striker netted both goals in a 2-2 tie against the Cambrian Golden Shield. The Wolves #10 followed up her game 1 performance with an even more impressive one, scoring a hat trick in a 5-0 win against the Sault Cougars. Jordan’s week 1 performance earns her week 1 Athlete of the Week honours.
