❤️💜 100 GAMES - KALANI PIANTA 💜❤️

Congratulations to Kalani Pianta from our 13&U 3 team for reaching 100 games in the last game of the round! An outstanding defender, Kalani is one to rely on if you need an intercept in an important moment. She is a player of many talents though, as she switched ends this game and scored a goal! 100 games is a massive achievement for someone so young, well done Kalani, plenty more games in purple to come! 💜❤️
