Danika Brace is a defensive player for Seattle Mist. She is a three-time All-Star, three-time defensive player, and won the 2015 League MVP. She started off as a rookie for the Seattle Mist on offense and defense before she began playing for the Las Vegas Sin as a middle linebacker and tight end. She came back to her original team after three years as middle back and tight end.

“Coming back to Seattle was easy in a sense, seeing as I was accustomed to Coach Michaelson’s plays, practices, conditioning, and antics. The hard part was coming back late from Australia to the US season where the girls had already been through minicamp and training camp. Some feelings were hurt, and girls got bitter when I earned back my starting position and essentially benched two players from the positions they had been practicing in for four months before I got there.” She is an AdvoCare Distributor and sells health products and cleansers. Once she’s retired from athletics, Danika wants to open up a training facility to help athletes.

Tai Emery is the #8 Defense for the Las Vegas Sin.

Meet Alli Alberts, the dentist by day and the wide receiver for the Chicago Bliss. She works Monday through Friday as a dentist and by night and weekends as the wide receiver on the Chicago Bliss. Being in a male dominated sport and profession doesn’t mean anything to Alli Alberts.

“I’ve always loved contact sports. In my town, basketball was the big sport, and I was constantly fouling out of games (whoops). My dad was a pretty good wrestler, and he used to referee my sister and I wrestling when we were children. Even though she always weighed 50 lbs more than me, I had it in my head that I could beat her. The same mindset stands for football. I’m definitely not the biggest girl out there, but I’m certainly not scared of girls who have me by 50 lbs. You can’t be or you’ll get your shit rocked. Once I saw the LFL games on TV, I knew I wanted to play. And I knew I’d love it. The rest is history.”

Deena Fagiano is the tight end of the Chicago Bliss #5 and makes big plays. She may be pretty, but she’s definitely not weak. She’s been with the team for three seasons.

She started playing football when she was in middle school. In 2014, she joined the LFL and became the team captain and “D-Breeze” on the Atlanta Steam.

“I’m not sure how many more years I’ll be playing. I don’t see myself playing with any team other than the Atlanta Steam unless I had to move. We’re a family. Everything they taught me, I could never leave them. My heart is here in Atlanta with my team and the city. I will definitely be back with the team next year. As far as after I graduate college, it depends on my career path. If it allows me to play football, I am all for it, and I’d love to play for as many years as possible. I love the sport and passionate about the league. I want to see it grow and also want to have a hand in its growth. I want to be a reason years on down the road as to why it’s become so big. I want to be a pioneer of the game. I would love to be considered that one day.”

Kimm Chase is the defensive end of the Los Angeles Temptations #18. She played flag football before transitioning to the big league.

“With my competitive background, it helped me have the drive. But my job working in sports performance has had the biggest impact in paying football because I am constantly around NFL athletes and trainers at the highest level that most girls don’t get to be around. That has really helped me develop my skills.”

The daughter of Super Bowl XXVI MVP, Mark Rypien, Angela Rypien is following in her father’s footsteps. Everybody has pretty high expectations for her.

“I was watching TV with my dad one day, and stumbled across it. It struck me that I could play football too. Simple, but I knew I would have a long road ahead of me. This experience has been more than I ever expected and I have really grown as a person. It is a lot of tough work, but I couldn’t be happier.”

I am grateful for that chance I had to play for the Seattle Mist; for the incredibly strong/amazing women, the coaching staff, and, of course, the Mistfit fans! I am grateful for the LA Temptation; Coach Tui’s love and support &, of course, the understanding of the women on the team. (You have nothing to worry about whether or not LA will do well at the QB position–there is talent there!) I am excited to see all the talent amongst all teams this season!”

Michelle “Mini” Angel is the quarterback for the Dallas Desire.

One of the hottest women ever, Cynthia Schmidt #18 is the wide receiver and free safety of the Las Vegas Sin.
