Women’s Premier League. Big victories including a Continental Cup win v Everton, a 0-0 draw away to Manchester United Women and a big 3-1 at home against the Lady Red Devils, is making the world sit up and take notice. And a big piece of the Wildcats’ success is due to a solid backline that includes central defender Becky Salicki.
