Bio

2023 (Freshman): Started and played in 13 games as a rookie. Scored her first career goal off a corner kick to give C-N the lead 1-0 against Bluefield State on Oct 18. That goal turned out to be the game-winner. Recorded two shots as one of C-N's two central defenders. Did not play in the final five games of the season. 

Prior to Carson-Newman: Palsdottir comes to C-N from Iceland, where she was part of a team that won an Icelandic championship in 2020. The next season she was named the most promising player. She has been a captain on her team for three years.
