Defensive Goals Allowed (Team)
“While many people know Kami is a solid force, she’s often overlooked because of her position. She’s an exceptional defender and shuts down any (offensive) counter. She also helped keep the region’s best forwards out of the Sharks’ defensive third. She’s a phenomenal player.”

The 5-foot-7 junior defender led the Sharks to a 21-1-1 record and the Class 6 state championship this past season. Winger led a defense that allowed just three goals all season, two of which happened in the one game Winger did not play. A member of the U.S. Soccer Under-17 Women’s National Team, she’s ranked as the nation’s No. 13 recruit in the Class of 2024 by TopDrawerSoccer.com.
