Konawaena senior Taiana Tolleson started playing soccer when she was 4, and by age 6 the decision was over, done and finished – she was a goalkeeper.
Waiakea senior Tori Teanio took up the game as a 5-year-old, and it wasn’t until she was in high school that she became a full-time fixture on defense.
Along the away, each of their coaches say their careers were marked by unselfish play. That means Tolleson and Teanio have no problem sharing, and it perhaps also explains why each was “shocked” to learn they had been voted co-BIIF Division I Player of Year by league coaches.
