The experience national representative is known for her speed, taking on players and creating opportunities for others. She has been a national player for the past 12 years.

“I choose OSA because I’ve played with most of the players on the team, and the chemistry that we have as a team is what you need to win a league,” said Cordner recently. “The environment is welcoming so any player would want to be part of that atmosphere feeling comfortable and playing.” With the start of this year’s WPS L tomorrow, Cordner is optimistic of making the starting eleven and welcomes the many challenges on this new journey of her professional career.

“Based on our practices and the work we’ve been doing on our shape for the upcoming games, I have to say I’m pretty confident in the team, and this coming weekend we should be awesome, not saying it’s going to be easy but I can feel that will do great because I believe in myself and my teammates.

We are going to have a great season with God’s guidance throughout the season.”
