'They're gonna fit right in': Saints soccer adds recruits

Steve Vagnini is an excitable person so it's no surprise he's charged up with the addition of three recruits from out of town.


Maddie Daabous, Payton Lessard and Allie Tales are joining the Saints in September and Vagnini feels they'll push to be starters. "Absolutely. They play at a good level and have rookie eagerness," Vagnini told Powerplay Sports. "They will fit right in to an already good team."



St. Clair recently won bronze at the OCAA Indoor Soccer Championships and finished 2nd in the West Division last fall before a shocking exit in the playoffs.


Daabous is graduating from London's Saint Andre Bessette and is a 5'4 striker. Lessard is currently at Parkside Collegiate Institute in St. Thomas and is a 5'7 midfielder. Her teammate, Tales, is a 5'9 striker and won silver with League 1's London TFC in 2024.


"The minute I met these three, I knew they belonged at St. Clair," Vagnini said in a college release. "They bring talent, teamwork and work ethic to a program that thrives on those specific values."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

​​​

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
