Karen Castellon

A commanding Nicaraguan defensive midfielder, she ruthlessly snaps up possession and shuts down attacks with lightning speed and impenetrable blocking. Haunted by the childhood memory of losing her family's only soccer ball to a raging river, she transformed that crushing loss into an unrelenting, aggressive drive to never let anything pass her by. While her stand tackles occasionally falter under pressure, her unparalleled interception skills make her a one-woman fortress on the pitch.
