“uOttawa gave me the sense of family as well as it is a bilingual university, so that helped a lot with choosing schools,” said Mascoll-Medeiros. “The team is in a great place to move on to bigger goals and I love that feeling of being in the hunt of a championship. I also know I few people on the team, so for me that sense of family was even better.”

Mascoll-Medeiors, who is interested in criminology, added that, “The coaching staff, I believe, is one of the best in the OUA if not Canada. They really show that they care for the players even outside of the game and I canโ€™t wait to have them help better my football career.”

Mascoll-Medeiros has played with the Forest City Thunderbirds (OFC), the Laurier Rams (TVRA) and the London Junior Mustangs (OPFL).
