Renate Knapp

Towering at 191 cm, this Austrian dynamo dominates the penalty box with elastic reflexes and iron-clad hands that rarely let a ball slip through. Her goalkeeping instinct is so legendary that as a youth, she once accidentally parried a heavy grocery bag dropped by her teammate with the same ferocity as a match-winning save. While her area command remains a work in progress, her fearless shot-stopping and relentless energy make her a daunting wall for any striker to breach.
