That's 6 goals and 2 assists over 3 years, so around 2G+1A/year. That's a pretty good rate for a defender who presumably gets up there for corner kicks. Because of her height I'll guess she's a centerback, and also it's rare for an outside back to be captain.

She is a CB, yes. She's a left-sided CB (so, where Menges is.) The footage I've seen was that all of her goals have come from CK/free kicks and with her head. She appears to have some aerial ability, which is nice. Also, she's had some track and field accolades and awards won (albeit in high school), but I hope that means she's got some speed because we have a lack of it on our backline.

She can join that other goal-scoring machine, Kelli Hubly!

Would legit be thrilled to see Thorns again become a set piece threat to be reckoned with. Put three header specialists in there and who do you leave unmarked?
