Alyssa Spridgeon has committed to the Mystics women's soccer program! ⚽

Originally from Whitby, Ontario, Alyssa currently resides in Dartmouth, NS, and brings an incredible mix of academic and athletic experience to the team. On the academic side, Alyssa is a two-time U SPORTS Academic All-Canadian, holding a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education, and is now pursuing her Doctor of Psychology at the Mount. On the athletics side, she is a goalkeeper and currently plays for the Halifax County United AAA Senior Women's team, with previous experience at Young Harris College, StFX, and Precision FC in the United Arab Emirates Women’s League.

"I am incredibly excited and grateful to be joining the Mystics and continuing my athletic and academic career at MSVU," says Alyssa. "Over the past few years, injuries have given me a different perspective on the game and reminded me how much of a privilege it is to play the sport I love. What stands out to me most about MSVU is the dedication to fostering a positive team culture while maintaining a competitive environment. I am looking forward to contributing to a program that is community-oriented and committed to success both on and off the field!"

Head Coach Jenna Blackburn shares the enthusiasm: "We are incredibly excited that Alyssa has committed to our program as she continues her education at the Mount this fall! Alyssa joins the Mystics with both NCAA and U SPORTS experience, and her veteran presence will be a huge asset to the team. She is a great shot-stopper with a natural ability to provide direction to her backline. Alyssa will bring guidance and leadership into our environment, along with an intensity that will push her teammates to the next level. We're happy that Alyssa is making her return to varsity athletics at MSVU!"

Welcome to the Mystics family, Alyssa!

Congratulations to the MSVU Class of Spring 2026!

A special shoutout to our current and former student-athletes, as well as our Athletics and Recreation staff graduating today and tomorrow. We’re cheering you on! 💙
