Red Deer Polytechnic Athletes of the Week

Sep 21, 2022 | 2:30 PM

A new season of RDP Athletics is upon us, and with it comes new athletes of the week.

Find them here weekly, including this week with Estel Quinteros of the Queens soccer team and Daniel Szucs of Kings cross country.

Estel Quinteros – Queens Soccer
Hometown – Edmonton, Alberta
Bachelor of Science Nursing (2nd year)

Estel Quinteros had an outstanding weekend on the pitch for the Red Deer Polytechnic Queens Soccer team. The second-year defender from Edmonton contributed in all facets of the Queens’ 16-0 home victory over the Ambrose University Lions on Saturday. Offensively, Quinteros took four shots, scoring three times and adding one assist. The Bachelor of Science Nursing student was also a key member of the Queens’ defence which played sound positionally and didn’t allow a shot on goal. For her hard working effort and valuable contributions, Quinteros was named the North Star Sports Queens Player of the Game.

The Red Deer Polytechnic Soccer teams will play a two-game set at home this weekend. Fans are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to the games in support of the Red Deer Food Bank. Individuals who donate food will be entered into a draw for prizes. There is no charge to attend the soccer games at Red Deer Polytechnic.
