KennedyFaulknor

Faulknor played 14 matches for Rise FC in 2025, starting 10 straight from July 12 to September 13 before an injury ended her season. The seasoned defender brought experience from Australia’s A-League Women (Canberra United) and the USL W League (Minnesota Aurora). A UCLA standout (2017–20), she debuted for Canada’s senior team at just 16 – the youngest center-back in Canadian history – and was named Canada’s U-17 Player of the Year in 2015 after captaining youth sides.
