Nikeisha Vermulst: Tight one-on-one defender that plays taller than she is. Strong in the air and rarely concedes a rebound, works tirelessly to minimise her goaler’s impact on the game. Always finds a way to work her way ball side.
Holly Galway: Lively defender that will throw herself into every contest. With height on her side she can get great hands over the shot and has excellent rebounding capabilities.
Chenile Chandler: Super athletic defender with a phenomenal jump. Uses her athleticism to hunt for errant passes anywhere in the defensive end of the court and shutting dow space for the opposition.
Hannah Barry-Murphy: Super calm and composed midcourter that supplies the goalers with excellent feeds consistently. Works hard off the ball and is really smart with her positioning and impeccable timing in attack. Highly skilful too.
Sinead Lumsden: Extremely accurate shooter from close or long range with excellent speed and agility. Thinks, creates and uses lightning fast hands in the circle to maximise scoring potential.
Stacey Fleming: Makes shooting goals look effortless. Provides lots of movement and rotation in the circle, holds nicely and remains calm under pressure. Great timing and drive onto the ball, a really graceful mover.
