Casey Kopua
Person
Goal defence, New Zealand. Kopua captained the Silver Ferns and won Commonwealth gold in 2006 and 2010, then was coaxed out of retirement by coach Noeline Taurua for the 2019 World Cup and named player of the match in the final as New Zealand won. Her timing on the intercept, reading the feeder's eyes rather than the shooter, is a model for goal defence.
