Career Assists
“Linda is an incredible player. In the one game we played against her this past season, she scored all [eight] of the goals for the Vikings [single-handedly winning an 8-5 result]. She’s calm on the ball, especially in 1-on-1 situations. She’s a natural-born finisher and has great speed. She’s able to find space between defenders and makes excellent runs.”
