Mary Peterson

A towering defensive force with a flair for the dramatic, this American center-back once sprinted half the field to clear a ball off the line only to argue with the referee about the throw-in decision. She dominates the air with explosive leaping ability and pinpoint interceptions, though her composure sometimes snaps when the stakes turn heated. Opponents fear her lethal slide tackles, which are as swift as they are dangerously uncompromising.
