Coach quote on Performance:

“Another great performance from Kiahna this weekend. Stepping into the ruck role for the second week in a row, against quality opposition, she is fast cementing her spot in what is developing as a solid starting lineup at Southern Power. Never daunted by the physical side of the contest, Kiahna showed great determination to overcome some heavy knocks throughout the game. Kiahna is always looking to improve her game and this is very evident in the performances she has put in so far.” Adam Parker, Head Coach
