Bio

Vicki White was named a conference all-star in 1994, one of four Gee-Gees to earn honours in the inaugural varsity season. White was the team captain in 1994 and 1995, the only two varsity seasons she played before graduating from uOttawa with a Bachelor of Laws degree. During her undergraduate studies, White was also part of the first varsity season for women’s soccer at Carleton University, captaining the Ravens from 1987-1990. She was the recipient of uOttawa’s President’s Award in 1994-95 and was uOttawa’s first ever recipient of the Top Ten Academic All-Canadian award presented by U SPORTS (then CIAU), in 1995-96. 

White began her studies at uOttawa in 1993 and quickly cemented herself as a force in advocating for the soccer team’s varsity status. In November of 1993, the team was elevated to varsity status for the following season thanks to White and her teammates’ organization and tactical pressure. The establishment of the women’s soccer team as a varsity program in Ontario University Athletics helped pave the way for women’s rugby and women’s hockey to become varsity programs in the next five years.
