Get to Know Sophie ...
At what age did you start playing soccer and how did you get into soccer?
- I was five when I started playing because my parents put my twin and me on a team together and I fell in love with the sport.
- I was named after the capital of Bulgaria which is where my grandmother was from.
- I do everything I can to keep a ball out of a net.
- Basketball, I started out as a goalie because of my height and I feel like it would be fun. And I'm related to James Naismith.
