The context
Where the work begins
Hannah Chown scored the only goal in the Varsity Blues women's soccer team's first championship victory in 2025. A corner from Emilija Lucic set up the captain's finish against Guelph. With a teaching degree from OISE completed, Chown is now pursuing the possibility of a professional playing career.
The takeaway
What follows
She plays for Simcoe County Rovers FC and coaches girls whose support has followed her to university matches. Teaching runs in her family: both her mother and grandmother entered the profession. Her undergraduate years also included English and theatre studies, with performances on stage between commitments on the pitch. For now, she wants to give soccer her full effort.
