USF Athletics

A 2021 Olympic gold medalist while playing for Canada in the Tokyo Games, Viens became the first USF alumni to earn an Olympic gold medal as an athlete and left her mark all over the women’s soccer record book while helping lead the program to three conference titles and three NCAA Tournament appearances.
 
Viens was a three-time All-America Team selection, the first ever for the USF women’s soccer program, and was a two-time American Athletic Conference Player of the Year (2018 & 2019) while earning four first-team all-conference selections. Named the AAC Rookie of the Year in 2016, she also was named the 2019 AAC Tournament Most Outstanding Player after leading the Bulls to a conference tournament title. She also led the Bulls to an AAC Tournament title in 2017 and a regular season AAC championship in 2018, the beginning of a run of five straight seasons with a conference title for the program.
 
Viens closed her career as the women’s soccer program’s all-time leading scorer (169 pts) and goal scorer (73) while finishing fifth in career assists (23). She led USF in goals, points and shots in each of her four seasons, including scoring a program-record 25 goals and 53 points in 2019, setting the single-season conference goal record in the process. She was named the AAC Player of the Week a record six times in 2019, part of a record 15 in her career, and earned National Player of the Week honors from the USCA and Top Drawer Soccer. The two-time Hermann Watch List honoree also earned first-team USCA All-South Region and Top Drawer Soccer’s Best IX Team.
 
Viens also set program records for season game-winning goals (10), shots (113) and season hat tricks (4) while setting conference season records for goals (25), goals per game (0.95) and points per game (2.65) and career marks for goals (73), goals per game (0.95), points (169), points per game (2.19), shots (360) and shots per game (4.68).
 
A member of the Canadian National Team with four goals to her name, Viens was selected fifth overall by Sky Blue FC in the 2020 NWSL College Draft.  She scored her first goal for the club on July 22, 2020, in a 3–2 defeat to the Chicago Red Stars during the semi-finals of the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup.  She also plays professionally for Gotham FC, Paris FC and Damallsvenskan Club Kristianstads.

Viens was inducted into the USF Athletic Hall of Fame in the Class of 2023.
