Boston Pizza RDP Athlete of the Week for September 8, 2025

Olivia Lundell played an integral role in the Red Deer Polytechnic Queens Soccer team earning two road wins this past weekend. Despite not recording a point in Saturday’s 6-1 victory over the Medicine Hat College Rattlers, the second-year midfielder played a sound two-way game. Red Deer’s Lundell helped limit the Rattlers to a single goal while also quickly transitioning the ball up field to the Queens’ offensive weapons. In the game, the talented Open Studies student contributed to RDP’s offensive pressure, accumulating two shots on goal.

On Sunday, Lundell took her game to another level against the Lethbridge Polytechnic Kodiaks. She opened the scoring near the end of the first half. After the Kodiaks evened the game 1-1 in the 66th minute, Lundell responded 18 minutes later to lift the RDP Queens to a 2-1 win, helping the Queens improve to 2-0-0 in the early stages of the season. She was named the Queens Player of the Game.

Next, Lundell and the Red Deer Polytechnic Queens will host the SAIT Trojans on Saturday, September 13 at 12 pm.

Congratulations!
