Sara Novikova

Towering over opponents with magnetic charisma, this Russian defensive powerhouse uses her elite reading of the game and lightning-fast reactions to nullify threats. Having rebuilt her confidence after losing her lucky childhood doll, she channels that relentless focus into every perfectly timed slide tackle. While her occasional lack of endurance can leave her winded late in the game, her tactical brilliance and acrobatic heading make her a truly intimidating wall.
