What is your style of play?
I am very possession-oriented. I like to keep the ball on the ground and let the ball do the work. Also, I love taking people one-on-one and going to the goal. I prefer skill and technique over strength and size.
What is your favorite soccer memory?
My favorite soccer memory was being a part of the Region III ODP team and playing in the Costa Rica International Tournament. We were champions of the tournament, and I was awarded MVP of the championship game, so that was pretty cool.
What is your favorite thing about soccer?
My favorite thing about soccer is that it brings people together from all over the world. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what you look like. Since soccer is an international sport, people are able to come together and enjoy the sport they love. You can develop many relationships through soccer, and I think that is what I will cherish forever.
Coach Heggood:
“Lianne is a great player on and off the field. She is respectful of coaches and other players. She always gives her best effort and plays with a determined, but positive attitude. As far as her play, Lianne is great with the ball at her feet. She sees the field well, so she can distribute to teammates or create chances for scoring.”
