Kubistek and her Pittsburgh Riverhounds team had a difficult match against Sporting Blue Valley, going down 3-0, but the goalkeeper displayed interesting skills in the match, avoiding an ever more enlarged scoreline. A very tall goalie, covered the goal area well and also displayed good reflexes to reach close-range finishes. Because of her size and great timing, Kubistek also dealt well with most crosses sent into her team’s penalty box. She was very good at putting the ball back in play too, with precise throws and long punts that found teammates way upfield.

Kubistek is another goalkeeper from the Pittsburg Riverhounds (she plays for their 07 team) worth paying attention to this weekend in New Jersey. Once you stop to watch her team play, you’ll probably be impressed with her communication with her teammates well before she gets to make a save. Kubistek is clearly one of the team’s leaders and she makes sure to keep her defenders engaged and aware of the game by talking to them non-stop. She’s a very technical goalkeeper, who will make all the technical actions well and will rarely make a mistake. She also understands the game very well and will often play very advanced on the field when her team is in possession to be able to stop eventual fast breaks.
