Kelly Bates

Standing like a monolith between the posts, she possesses supernatural reflexes and an aerial presence that turns every cross into a mere formality for her safe hands. Though her reserved nature makes her a silent guardian, the opposition hasn't forgotten the time she spent an entire youth match calmly doing a crossword puzzle in the box because no one could break her line. While she struggles to distribute the ball under heavy pressure, she remains a formidable wall that leaves strikers frustrated.
