MAB Female Athlete of the Month | September 2026
Aliya Copas | Girls Golf
Congratulations to Aliya Copas on being named the Mandan Athletic Booster Club - MAB Club Female Athlete of the Month!
Aliya was nominated by Girls’ Golf Head Coach Dean Johs for her outstanding leadership, grit, and determination throughout the season.
As team captain, Aliya stepped into the #1 spot while a teammate was injured, led both varsity and JV players, and made time to work with younger middle school golfers. She has also been a tremendous help to her coaches and a leader both on and off the course.
Despite battling a painful injury for much of the season, Aliya never gave up. Her perseverance paid off with five top-10 finishes, including a tie for 5th at the Regional Tournament, earning her All-Tournament Team recognition and All-Conference honors.
Aliya’s determination, selflessness, and commitment to her team make her an outstanding example of what it means to be a Brave.
Congratulations, Aliya! Go Braves!
