As a first-year student athlete in a first-time OCAA program, Monica Sousa started the season off strong for the Lakehead Orillia Thunderwolves. In Lakehead's first-ever OCAA regular season match at Cambrian on Sept. 5, the striker scored the lone goal as the Thunderwolves edged the Shield for a first-ever victory. Two days later, Sousa followed this effort with a two-goal performance to lead the Thunderwolves to a comeback tie against the Loyalist Lancers on home turf. Sousa is among the league leaders with three goals to begin the campaign.
