Turner Johnson – Kings Soccer
Hometown – Red Deer, AB
Academic Upgrading (2nd year)

Johnson had an excellent weekend for the RDC Kings at the ACAC Men’s Soccer Championship in Sherwood Park, helping his team earn a silver medal.

In the quarter-finals against Concordia, the hard-working defender from Red Deer helped limit the Thunder’s offence to a single goal in a 2-1 victory.

Johnson had an outstanding game against the SAIT Trojans in the semi-finals. He played 120 minutes and scored the Kings’ lone goal during regulation time. After 30 minutes of extra time expired and the teams were still even 1-1, the Academic Upgrading student was successful on his penalty kick, helping the Kings defeat the Trojans and advance to the gold medal game. He was also named the Kings Player-of-the-Game.

The Lethbridge College Kodiaks edged the RDC Kings 2-0 in the finals, but Johnson displayed another solid outing against a talented team.

Johnson and the Kings will compete at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Men’s Soccer National Championship from November 6 to 9 in Oshawa, Ontario.
